I use what Ken uses in my blast cabinet. I guess it depends how cruddy your wheels are. If there are multiple heavy coats of paint or heavy rust scale then sand may cut faster. Some times if the paint is thick, glass beads just take a little longer but won't etch out the steel as bad.

For big jobs that won't fit in the cabinet, I now take the work to a local professional. He can get the job done a lot faster and easier than me trying to mess around with the sand pot and fighting water problems. I don't use my sand pot anymore, it's just not worth fighting it to me.
