Very nice. They make the car look so much meaner that it already did. As far as the clear coat, it's amazing how shiney these rims are once the clear coat is stripped off. It's easy to do too. If you plan on doing the fronts ThunderBolt1, checkout your local parts store for a stripper called Klean-Strip Aircraft Remover. Funny name but this stuff kicks butt. Just make sure to wear gloves and protect your tires. It's thick and doesn't run much but is much easier if the tires are off of the rims. Leave it on for 10 minutes or so and you can see the old clear coat bubbling up. Wipe it off and rinse well. A few coats and it's done. Nice shiney, polished aluminum underneath.
Now there's a tip I can use. Thanks buddy!

I took HavATampa's advice. I never thought it could be so easy! One can of Kleen strip paint remover should cover four wheels. This is a remedy to get rid of faded clear coated wheels as long as you don't polishing aluminum wheels once every other week.

Apply evening covering the entire wheel.
Let sit for 10 minutes and rinse with a garden hose. It's that easy!

I'm running 335's. My fenders are rolled and I BFH'ed the innerfender well a bit but it was nothing drastic.
I don't think I have any pics directly from the back of the car but you click on my exhaust clip in my sig which is shot from the rear and side and you can see that they don't stick out.

Good job ThunderBolt1! This stuff makes it so easy they should charge more for it. 
Don't worry, you won't need to polish them that often as long as you keep them clean and dry. Might want to wax them every so often though. If you decide to clear coat them again, they will lose some of their shine.
