Back on topic, Checkers, have you ever used Blasting Technologies in 4 corners? Seems like according to their website they do mostly wood restoration. I currently live in 4 corners, so it would be pretty easy to drop them by. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and see what they'd want to soda blast them. I'll let you all know what they say.
Couldn't find the donut face emoticon so I had to dig for that one, sorry :D.

I've never personally used Blasting Technologies but they do blasting almost exclusively so I'm sure they're great.
Let us know what happens!

Well, I figured I would post some pictures to complete this post. It was kinda left open ended as these wheels sat around for so long.

Went ahead and took them to MT Powder Coating.

Those look good Josh! Did you fix any curb rash before getting them done? Just curious cause I am thinking of getting mine done eventually.

No, I didn't do anything to them before I dropped them off. They were in pretty decent shape, and the little rash there was, was covered pretty well by the PC. $45/wheel for 1 coat or $67/wheel for 2 coats. I did 1 and it turned out pretty nice.
