Default deep dish clear coat

well i got some aftermarket rims with about a 3-4in deep dish. the clear on the rear rims are starting to flake off the dish. is there anyway i could fix this myself or should i just take them somewhere.

You can strip the clear off and polish the lips.... here's a write up for the whole wheels: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ight=stripping

I've always been a fan of those rims. WOW. Amazing write up. Good to have a fellow member such as yourself on board!

Yes you can strip them and leave them bare but you will have to keep up with the polishing every month or so. You can also have them clear powdercoated. I would just strip em' and polish em', you will get the best shine. Just find a way to protect that black paint while your stripping.
