"Machined" Wheels



Hello everyone,

With all of this talk about machined wheels, chromed wheels, 
powdercoating and what so ever I was wondering...

The picture of the Machined Wheels on a DeLorean (with cat
underneath) in the Files-section looks absolutely fabulous!
Can anyone tell me what this "machining" really is?
My father has a blasting-company and is currently building 
a glass bead blasting installation, so I was wondering how
our wheels would come out if I had them bead blasted 
and clearcoated. 

Would this be comparable, or am I looking at a completely different 
process here? As I understand this machining is done at DMC Houston, 
but since I live in the Netherlands I'm not easily pushed into
shipping them my wheels, having them done and getting them shipped 
back. The cost would be quite high, but even worse; I wouldn't be
able to drive my D for the time it takes to have them done plus 
shipped TWICE! That would easily add up to several weeks and I don't 
know if I can survive without driving it for that long ;-)

Please clear this up for me.
Thanks in advance,

JAN van de Wouw
