NO TO THE SANDBLASTING you might seek some local advice from a refinisher/repair facility. A professional restoration would include the machining of the flange of "ALL FOUR" wheels so that when on the car you have a matched set of four. There's no short-cut to this.

Talk to a few and base your decision based on the conversations.

Just be sure to have the wheels spun and checked for being true before you start and mark the wheels in some fashion so that you can ID them when they're returned to you. Your location I'd think should offer you several facilities that can accomplish it. Check with the "higher end dealers" and see who they use for their customers BUT talk to a few. Look at some of their work.
