    One thing you could do is create the wheel in Illustrator and bring the points you create as a mask on a solid. First start off with a star shape in Illustrator and make the same more of a octogon. The key (no pun) is to make sure you keep the same number of sides when working in illustrator. Copy your shape in Illustrator and past as a mask on a solid in AE. Set a key frame. Jump down further down the timeline. Back in Illustrator use the option key and draw another star shape making it more star like (you still should have the same number of sides.) Copy these points and paste them in your time line as the second keyframe.
    I’m not sure what your looking for, but this is still a cool animation over time.
