For wheels, I'd be tempted to make a stand that held the wheel up by the
lug bosses.  Add a lazy suzan ball-bearing (all metal so that it won't
smoke up in the oven) and you've got a nifty painting jig.  Give it a
twirl, paint, bake at 350 for the required amount... easy as pie! ;-)

However, as fun as it sounds, space and money constraints will probably
force me to get my wheels p/c'd at a shop in town.

Anyone wanna sell me a rust free TR4 wheel?  I need a fourth.
