im just curious if you are able to paint them to make them look like the 94-95 style, or if it wont turn out. and if you cant, any way to repair machined alloys?

yeah you can paint them.. Sand down the rough spots and clean them up real nice and paint them silver. I did my g/f's wheels on her's and they came out real nice. I used Dupi color wheel coating paint from autozone or meijers. U can just about use any kind of spray paint though. I didnt even cover the tires. Put some tire gel on the tires and start painting. Let it dry and then get a wire brush and brush the tire clean.
