I've got some SPI clear left over from the paint, so I'll shoot some clear on a wheel & see how it goes.

im not familiar with SPI clear, but be aware that a standard clear for body paint most likely wont stand up to the heat & brake dust & hars environment wheels are exposed to. they make a special high heat wheel clear thats much more resistant to heat & brake dust etc...
