Thought about sandblasting it and getting it powdercoated?

That should be enough to get a wheel powdercoated. Even the best rattle tin job won't last long and it will look shit. Podwer coat it or leave it IMO.

Just leave it how it is then Very Happy

Or get some Nitromors on it to peel the paint off and base coat it with metal primer then spray your colour on. if you're feeling flush then laquer it aswell

Have you got a big oven? Some paints you can bake on to make them harder wearing. Preperation is everything as in most paint jobs. TBH, by the time you've bought wet and dry, primer, etch primer, top coat, you're not far off being able to afford to have it done properly, or, buy a good condition replacement.
