I've been looking around at different options for doing wheels at my shop. I like the idea of easily doing 20 inch wheels, the Eastwood video about the B100 claims to fit however seems like it may be tight. Anyone have either of these two? one better than the other? I might be leaning toward the Gregsmith SBC990 because shipping is free and Eastwood wants $325 for shipping.

FWIW, plan on a good compressor with a lot of CFM. The finishes put on wheels are the toughtest I've ever tried to remove. The material is engineered to withstand 100-MPH road grit blasting and being bathed in liquid chlorides for years.

TP is running a sale until 3/21. A couple of their popular models have free or reduced shipping, depending on what zone you live in.

The ad says there is an April price hike coming up.

I imagine the ad is on the net. My print version showed up in Hemmings today.

I am a fan of the TP tools blaster and own one of the smaller versions. You can pick up a blaster at some of the larger car shows they attend for a show discount.

Did you read the reviews on the Eastwood site on the design, one person was not able to blast a 20in wheel and combined two units with the back panel removed.

I seen that review, kinda had me thinking the Eastwood video was wrong about the space. The video specifically says can fit a 20 inch wheel, however maybe not with room to work.

I have a 80 gallon Saylor Beall, was hoping this would work because sanding by hand and DA gets old!

Yes, with a very abrasive medium to cut the original finish, then a finer grit to get into the corners and smooth out the surface, you'll git 'er done. However, there are many surface inches and corners on a 20" wheel. Do four of them and have them refinished and the cost of new doesn't look as bad as before. BTDTNA.
