Sandblasting Stock 16.5 Wheels - $150 quote for each one

[socalcraigster]

$ 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.

WAY too much. Where are you in SoCal? I got the core support for my '63 blasted for $35.

Ridiculously overpriced!

[mljjones67]

Yes way too much!! My frame was $275

[guerra]

way expensive! i got a quote for $55 per wheel sandblasted and podercoated white. i think its still too much.

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

[quantumleap]

ill call my friend up...he only charged me a 5th of jaeger...wheels shouldnt be a problem for his blaster and they coat as well...as for his price per wheel that depends on the color you use...(price per pound of powder)

way to much. i can get 15 inch chrome wheels blaster feather out and poweder coated chrome for 60.00 each.

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.

Wow !!!! you could get some great new wheels for that price.

[hdpusher]

4 wheels at a buck and a half is way to much!!!

Comments and suggestions please.

Thanks.

$150 for all 5 is still too much. That was the comment.

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.

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...
