I am getting some new rims 17x8 American Eagle and they are polished aluminum. Can I clear coat these to make them easier to clean? If so how?

I know Por-15 makes a clearcoat product called Glisten PC that a lot of people use... http://www.por-15.com

Those Look a lot like the weld 258 sidewinders I have on my Sierra. If you wanna see them on a truck with 285's wrapped around them I'd be happy to take a picture for you tommorow when it's light out.

These are the ones I have

You might look into Zoop Seal....I've heard a lot of good stuff about it and I don't think it would take too lok to apply to new wheels...

I got them on and man they sure changed the look of my pickup. I'll try to post some pics later today after I get the ranch hand grill guard and westing step bars on. It looks like I ended up getting about 4 or 5 inches of lift total between the tires and torsion bars being cranked.
