Re: How to protect these?

Clear powder coat is real, but its not 100% clear. At least in every application I've seen, it ends up with a little bit of a "saran wrap" look on stuff. I've seen something like it on playground equipment.

In certain cases you can use a clearcoat to protect them, which is what Chevy has done in the past like on the Xtreme wheels. You need to use a clear coat designed for bare metal which resists yellowing or going milky. Even then, the large majority of clear coated wheels I've seen started to peel after any nicks/curbing/scratches gave the clear an edge to start lifting from.
