Are you going to have them do all the prep work?

I would stick to stripping them yourself. It would take a long time to get all that clear off by sandblasting. Plus not to mention the coating that is under neath the clear. Its not as easy at it sounds to blast it off. I have tried it, I would of spent close to a full day blasting one wheel. Stripper works just fine, cheaper to do yourself as well.

The material I use is Klean Strip adhesive remover, the purple can. They sell it at Lowe's. The way I do it is apply the stuff, let sit, apply again, repeat that process 3 or so times. Then powerwash or hose it off. I'd powerwash for obvious reasons if you have one. Good luck.
