You can strip the clear coat and polish them up real good. They will look better than new.

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.

you can strip them, polish them, then have them powdered clear. Or have them blasted and powdercoated any color you want.

Could i just not strip the clear off and re-clear them?

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.
