This is the one that i'm looking to clear coat(if so can we use automotive clear like the one used in body shops or is there a special). Reason why i'm asking is becuase I spend about an hour a rims when cleaning the car(using mother's rim polish). The oxidation is a killer!

 

Why would you want to clear coat them? They are aluminum, its not like they are going to rust.

 

Oxidation - I figure if I can put a coat of clear on'm then I could save "cleaning" time because the clear coat would stop the oxidation. Why think it's a bad idea or no possible?
On the other hand, if the rim(s) get hot then cold from drive - i guess the clear would discolor. Hmmm, know I'm confused.

 

what about having the rims powdercoated clear . maybe that would solve your problem. you could polish them up and then have them coated.

 

nolanr0413, is there some in or close to NJ that does powercoating?(i should get me slp headers done)...

 

i dont know of anyone in that area.Maybe go to a car show and ask someone if they have had powdercoating done. Or maybe in the back of a mag, but i think going to a car show and asking someone would be your best bet .

 

If you keep up with the maitnance on the wheels, you shouldn't have a problem with them oxidizing. A few of my friends have aluminum wheels and have had them for a long time now and all they do is clean them like once a week and none of their rims are oxidizing. I think you would be wasting your money.
