Refinished My Wheels
Over the past week/weekend, I decided to refinish my wheels. The bubbling/chipping finish has bothered me since I got the car in February. I masked it for a while with some silver plastidip but that did not cut it. I used aircraft remover to dissolve the oem paint then sandblasted the wheels to a smooth finish. Then I sanded down the massive amount of curb rash from the previous owner. Finally, I painted them with 2 coats of primer, 6-7 thin coats of silver, and 2 coats of clear. While they were off the car, I repainted the red calipers with orange G2 paint kit and used the extra to make the hella horns match. Also bought a set of Blox black extended lugs from a buddy for $40. Not perfect but much better and not too bad if I do say so myself.

I'm not sure I am positive what you are referring to when you say spline design. Do you mean the ones that have like 6-8 slots on the outside and need a key to put them on and take them off? If so, these are not. They are just a standard 19mm socket.
