I'm probably going to be painting my 18's this weekend (rattle can, like I always have in the past). I've never removed the tires when I paint my wheels (I've done it quite a bit...), I always just use the index card method to shield the tires from over spray. However, it seems on this site there are quite a few snobs who will look down on a person trying to save a few bucks and speak ill of whatever they don't agree with that a z deserves.
Powder coating will be more durable in the long run, but it's far to expensive. For that price I'd rather just hold out and buy a set of wheels the color I want.

Everyone is going to have their opinion no matter what you do. So don't even sweat it... If its what works best for you, and you're satisfied with the final product. Thats all that matters. Besides, if you dont scratch the hell out of your wheels curbing them, who's to say a spray can coat isn't durable enough for you?
Best of luck! Post pics once it's done.
