I think you can rent them at the local tool rental places. I saw one for rent at Lowe's.

I did a set for my buddies mini, I used a grinder with a wire brush. Then I Line-X them, they came out sweet plus it was way cheaper than having them media blasted. Sorry I don't have pics but try it you would be surprised how well it works

Did you linex them yourself? All i find is a dealer locater, no products for sale. Id love to powdercoat them but that would be more than the wheels are worth. I want to keep this cheap as possible.

I think in the 40s section someone was speaking of home brew sand blasting, and you could pick up the equipment pretty cheap at Harbor Freight.

Yeah I used a knock off brand of bed liner. I all ready had the gun to shoot it. The whole process took about 3 hours and cost about 60 bucks. 2 gallons of dupli color bed liner 45.00 (over kill but nice to have a little extra for small projects) wire wheel 5.00 small bottle of acetone 3.00 and a 6 pack of beer 7.00 = Bed Lined wheels
