The clear coat won't stick properly and can run very very easily. You can put a lite coat of wax on your wheels to protect them but you will have to continue to polish up your wheels to keep them at their peak.

Whats the best thing to use to strip them? I want to do the same thing to my fat 5s and i used some thing in a can from Advance Auto but that thing itches your body like crazy, but it does work quick.
