TT2's Clear Coated? Has anyone clear coated their TT2's? If so, any pics and how do you like them compared to polished without the clear? I am going to be purchasing TT2's but don't really have enough time to keep polishing them. Thanks.
I do not have personal experience with seeing or having that done but I'm sure its doable. If anything, get the chrome option for the spokes and all you will need to really keep up with is the aluminum polished hoop. That's what I have.

you can clear coat polished wheels but it will dull the finish a little bit. I have actually put a powdercoat clear over a couple things and it doesn't come look bad. All I know is that it is a hell of alot easier to clean

I will probably get them clearcoated when I get them. My stock clearcoated wheels have held up pretty good and always look nice after washing.
BlackbirdWS6, thanks but I don't really like the look of chrome.

The first time was with a special made coating made by POR 15. It is specifically made for polished aluminum and other metals. I forgot the name but you can find it on their website. Then after we stripped that off we tried House of Kolor automotive clearcoat.
