Sandblasting Stock 16.5 Wheels - $150 quote for each one
$ 150.00 per wheel. Is this a good deal or not? It seems to me I could buy my own sandblasting setup for that amount. For that kind of money, the wheels are not really that bad.
Comments and suggestions please.
Thanks.

ya we only charge $35/hr to sandblast at a minimum of 1 hr, it might take an hr to blast 4 wheels tops..

Good lord! I was pondering how much it would cost to blast the whole truck for paint prep. I may have to take out a loan for that!

After reading all of the responses, the balloon head at the tire store must have quoted me incorrectly. He must of meant $ 150 for all of them. They do not do it there, they send them out and it takes a week. I am going to call tommorrow and verify.

$150 for all four is still steep.

$150 for all 5 is still too much. That was the comment.socalcraigster wrote: Comments and suggestions please.
Thanks.
Take the rusty 16.5" wheels to the mill and spend part of the $150 on a set of 16" wheels that don't need sandblasting, and that you will actually be able to buy new tires for. there went the suggestion. the hubcaps will still fit.

Re: Sandblasting Stock 16.5 Wheels - $150 quote for each one
Agreed, WAY too much (I got mine done for $40.00 each a few years back).
And the 16.5's are getting pretty hard to find tires for...
