How to tell if Splines are good

[TR4guyinVA@aol.com]

When discussing wire wheels with a friend, (who might be reading this) he
always says something along the line of "It'd be a shame to put new wheels on
worn out splines."

Does anyone have a method on whether to pass / fail splines either on the
wheel hub, or the splined adaptor.

And furthermore is there a cheaper place than British Wire wheel to get
spokes and nipples?


Thanks in advance.
