If i were you a would with ouv a doubt clear coat them. Wheels get a very hard life and to make them last i would do it. There are millions of painted allow wheels made every year and 99% of them are clear coated, just like cars. There is a reason for that

Smells like a hefty debate.
The thing's booked for tomorrow, but weather permitting I can clearcoat them afterwards.

True you can. Make sure you tell the wheel guys the paint is fresh as it will be very soft

Molly???? Seriously bang some clearcoat on them and ignore what he says, he's as dumb as a box of frogs.
Whats easier if they get chipped - repainting the whole wheels or re-clear coating.
Looking awesome mate, get those sills done now, nice and quick job
Do your wipers as well if needed, little things make a difference.

They look very dark in the pictures. You'll see them for real sometime I'm sure.
