R8 Five Spoke Polished Wheels Clear Coated?

[Alan S]

Are the Five Spoke Polished Wheels on the R8 clear coated? If you have to use a metal polish like Mother's Mag Wheel Polish or SemiChrome then they are not clear coated. If you use a wax or Rejex on these wheels then they probably are clear coated.

[desperado]

Yes, the R8 wheels are clear coated. Why do you ask?

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a new R8 and was trying to decide if I should get the polished wheels or not. If they're clear coated, I probably will. As you know, keeping up polished aluminum wheels that are not clearcoated is pretty time consuming.
