Are these wheels clearcoated?
I'm not sure what year (2000+???) the wheels are from but they were on my car when I bought them. I know they're polished, just want to know if they are clearcoated or not. I'd like to polish them up a bit but not if they're clearcoated....
Anyone know?

They are clearcoated from the factory. When I had mine, I just kept a good coat of wax on them.

Unless someone has polished off the clearcoat I would agree they look like stock polished wheels and should be clear coated. Polish that is safe for your cars finish is the most abrasive thing you should use. Even a stiff brush will scratch. If they are badly scratched they can be polished and re clear coated.
