Can you sandblast Turbo Wheels without ruining them? 200 1990

"Wheel Refinishers" are fine if you have a Porsche. They'll gladly charge you $150 per rim and do a smashing job.

For us poor Volvo folks, sandblasting is just fine. I have a local shop that sandblasts and powdercoats aluminum rims for me all the time. I pay $45 per rim. The powdercoat is a super-durable finish; I've had one set of Coronas for 2 years, including winters. With a wash, they look grand.

For truly super wheels, maybe find a shop that does glass bead blasting. A little less abrasive than sand.
