Default Question on Powder Coating

Hey HT,
My question is that I have a RSX-S 02 with stock rims. I was wondering if those wheels are able to be sand blasted off before the powder coat. If so I can do it myself to save money? If thats not the case do you guys have any suggestions on how to strip the coating of the stock? Thanks for the help!!!
