Re clearing wheels
Seems theres some good stuff out these days, any preference?
Looking for good not cheap, hopefully hold up for a few yrs and not yellow
Need to restore 2 sets only want to do it once.
Resto section seems to have most that send their wheels out that aint happening.

Sorry I don't have a good recommendation, but I can tell you one to avoid.
I did a refinish and used Duplicolor wheel clear that didn't last. After about a year it started to yellow, and by two years it started to crack and flake off.
Good luck.

How are you looking to apply? Rattle can or shooting with HVLP? Shooting with my Sata gun I've used Finish1 which is a high solids clear and holds up extremely well. There are many choices available and everybody has their own personal favorite. The one thing I would certainly recommend is that you avoid rattle can at all costs.

Compressor isnt big enough for a gun, no powercoaters within a long ways.
So rattle can (not my choice)
Wheels below...C4 just wanna freshen up its a driver
Truck is undergoing a full blown resto. May polish them not sure yet.

Since your only option is rattle can, and you want something that won't yellow, maybe you should look into this: Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic
It seems to meet your criteria.
