Hello I am wanting to respray the wheels on my new holland ts115 this summer and I was hoping someone may be able to give me a list of the equipment I will need? Thanks in advance.

Scott, welcome to TBN.
I'd suggest:
1. Powerwash and get thoroughly clean/degreased
2. Rub everything down with fine grit sandpaper
3. Wipe down with isopropyl alcohol or paint thinner
4. Use blue tape and newspaper to tape rims and tires
5. If rusty, use a coat of rust preventer/transformer
6. Primer coat
7. Two top coats
8. Final clear coat optional
Now, if you knew how to paint with a spray gun, you wouldn't be asking these questions, (nor do I...) so I'm assuming you are doing this with
rattle cans. Several light coats instead of a heavy coat, avoid the dreaded drips.
If the above has nothing to do with what you want to know, please rephrase questions.
Newbury, you need to update. Mine go on with velcro...

Pretty much everything daugen listed. Due to the size of the wheels an angle grinder with a wire wheel would come in handy. You could also use note cards stuck between the tire and wheel to prevent overspray as well as putting tireshine on the tires before hand so any overspary wipes off.

I didn't know that about tire shine helping with overspray cleanup, thanks for that Brink.

Vaseline works well, and I have used hand cream also...

If you don't want to do all that masking, I took a large piece of cardboard and pressed against the wheel rim. It left an impression that I trimmed with a razor knife. I just held that over the tire, and got virtually no overspray on the tires.

Heck, I wire brush, wipe down with thinner and use a paint brush to apply a good coat of Tremclad.
That way no over spray, clean lungs and a good heavy coat of paint.
LOL, and I toss the brush.
Unless you have a paint gun and compressor set up you'd not get a decent heavy coat of paint.
Rattle can painting just is too thin coat for real protection.

I've had good luck with spray paint on wheels. Good suggestions on avoiding overspray on tires. I use a piece of aluminum flashing about 12" long. It is thin enough to wedge easily between the tire and rim. Since it's so thin, it also allows you to get the lip of the rim nicely.
