Steel wheel restoration questions Options

[Rav914]

The finish on a set of 4.5's I have is not to my liking and I was thinking about getting them re-done. I'm undecided about doing them myself or sending them off to a shop.

A couple of the wheels have what I believe is a powdercoated finish. Can that be bead-blasted off?

If I were to blast them down, prime, and paint; what paint brand and color would I use for an original finish? Wurth silver? I've scoured all three hardware stores in my town and none of them have a rattle-can paint that looks good. It's either too mettalic or too gray.

If I wanted to put more money back in the economy, where would you recommend I send them? Al Reed and Harvey are the Fuchs guys, do they refinish steelies? I called Al a couple times to ask but got the answering machine. I know he's busy and don't feel like bothering them with the phone. I've used Harvey for Fuchs, but his year+ waiting time is too much.

Lastly, can I buy "new" 4.5 or 5.5 non-chromed steel wheels? Every set I've looked at over the past year resemble what one would find at the bottom of a land fill. It's getting frustrating just finding good steel wheels.

Thanks,
