So I am thinking that I am going to have my 17's (white) blasted and redone. Anyone have any suggestions for a solid place to ship my wheels to? Before anyone suggests me having them blasted and then painting them myself personally that is out. I just don't have the time and I need to have a solution that can stand up to heavy use on the strip. Thanks for any assistance in advance.

I would just take it to a local paint shop and have them do it, if you don't have the time, or google powder coat shops near you. What color you thinking of painting the wheels?

black or a custom blend of black and jade sea. really depends on what my bodywork guy has in mind.

Just make sure they use a fine sand, most of the sand that powdercoat shops carry will destroy your wheels if they don't know what they are doing.

I've restored plenty of wheels and just use sand with no issues. But I'm no professional, just do it for fun.
