So I am about to get my rims powdercoated but what am I supposed to do with my car and tires. I don't have any extra rims to put on my car so how do I prop it up for a couple days? And where can I get my tires removed and put on again

Get some jack stands, you will need 4.

Take your wheels to any gas station and they will take the tires off of them.

1. you need to have the car sit on 4 Jack stands with the correct stand that goes inside the jack points.
2. you have to remove the tires and TPMS before having it powdercoated (some powdercoated places can removed the tires but most no)
3. any tire places can remove your tires no problem of course with a fee.
4. property powdercoat usually takes at least 1 week to prepare and paint. so 1 week without the car might not be a good idea without a spare car.

The tire places can install the tires back I'm guessing? And yeah it's gna be a hassle without the car for a bit but I really want black rims ): I saw some places can do them in like 3 days? And how much do the jacks generally cost
