Ummmm....not sand blasted just take the wheel off and use a metal brush it will do the trick and there is some sort of residue you can buy for caliper cleaning to use after the brush... looks way better

I'll throw in a vote for the metal brush, also use a file and then you can either clear-coat or paint them yourself if you like.
