I use a wire around them and hang them by the wire

I use thin chain. I wrap it around the center of the wheel. It is not seen when the tire is mounted.
Good Luck

make a jig. I coat motorcycle wheels all the time & make jigs out of 1/2" box tubing & tap some threads in the arms of the jig @ 0, 120 & 240 deg. to clamp the wheel. it works great.

i wrap them with chain and shot them then hang the chain off a s hook in the oven .. the tire covers the part of the chain not coated to hide it
