Clear coating wheels

[Slow91z]

I was just reading Red Regal T's thread on stripping clear off of GTA wheels and it got me thinking again.

My car came with AR wheels that the previous owner bought without a protective coating (he said he was going to polish them his self and never got around to it)...Now I have no interest in polishing them to look like chrome, but I would like to take off the oxidation they have (before it gets to bad) and put some type of protective coating on them so that I won't have to scrub them constantly.

Any ideas?? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

powder coating looks good on rims and it holds up better than urethane clear.

How much does powder coating cost?? What kind of coating do the wheel manufacturs use?? I don't think they are all clear coated, are they??
