Thank you... I Just wonder
What is your reason for wanting to 'media blast' the rims?
If you are ONLY removing the old tires for this purpose, then $20-25 seems like a 'reasonable' cost, unless these are a very special type or rim requiring 'extra care' or procedure in removing these tires.
If you plan on putting the SAME TIRES back on, then there will be a cost to remount and rebalance each wheel again. If you plan on putting NEW TIRES on these rims once you have them 'media blasted' & painted, polished, or rechromed; then it might be easier to have the place you are buying the tires from or plan on having the NEW TIRES mounted at DO THE WORK. That way you could have EVERYTHING DONE for the same price that SIMPLY MOUNTING AND BALANCING THE NEW TIRES WOULD COST.... just a 'delay' in time between the DISMOUNTING and MOUNTING of the new tires.
Just some info to 'think about'.
