Take index cards and put them between where the tire and rim join. Just slide them in. And paint! put them close together or you will get over spray on your rims. this is the easiest way i can think of. But Besure to sand down your rim with some fine grit sandpaper or you will get Paint runs Or paint not sticking in certian areas you really don't want that.

sand blast lightly (don't even have to take tire off rim), mask off rim, spray!
