i am looking for the same thing
around here there are quite a few places but they all charge a ---- load of money.
through searching ht i found out that a hot tank dip at a machine shop should take care of what i need.
i bought some rims and they were painted black
i don't know what you need taken off the wheel, but i was told the hot tank will take of almost anything

Re: wheel bead blasting
 

plating is flake of the rims and a hot tank will eat aluminum

it's funny cause machine shops dip alum blocks all the time. ---- i've had a b18a, b16a block dipped and a gsr head

Re: wheel bead blasting
 

may be wrong but thats what i was told by a machine shop one time, are you sure the block you had done were tank and not put in a parts washer

Re: wheel bead blasting
 

yeah they put it in a big ass tank with some water that smelled like ass.
not sure what the "water" was
