Yea that def needs to be stripped. When I had my Trailblazer SS a lot of the OEM wheels that saw time in the snow and stuff got destroyed. Most people just stripped off the clear and polished the wheels.
The only downside to polished wheels is its a huuuuge pain to keep em looking nice.

Verdad Gallardo To get rid of the flaky appearance on the wheel now you have to strip the clear off. I personally wouldnt even reclear them. It will be a pain to keep them clean but with a nice polish job they will shine like chrome.
