  Any cabinet big enough to fit them in will work.  I picked 
one up for $200 last year that should be large enough but 
crowded.  I've seen the same cabinet for sale at "truckload 
tool sales" for about $300, so maybe Harbor Freight or ebay 
would have a similar one.  I also have a small, end loading 
one I bought off ebay for <$100 and loaded it with 125 grit 
aluminum oxide for my ceramic coating stuff.
  I'd use glass bead for doing aluminum.  If you have a good 
finish to start with simply sanding with #400 wet/dry would 
do.  
  I was always told by my body man that if the original 
paint/primer is still sticking, don't strip it off.  You'll NEVER 
get anything to stick as well to the metal as that original 
primer!  (more of a body work tip there than mag wheels).
