I refurbished my d1s last year. There might be a thread on here about it. Although for the effort it might be better to take them to a wheel company.it usually costs 30-50 a wheel.

Basically I rubbed them all down masked off the wheels and sprayed the lips then laquered millions.

The studs are dead easy to remove. Just knock them out from behind.
