I have a 2008 Malibu LT2 V6. Are the 5 spoke rims clear coated? I had to get a new tire, and the company scratched my rim all the way around. They are sending it out to be machined and i want to make sure they clear coat it. Thanks Guys and Gals

Yeah they are coated, if the fix doesn't look right tell them to get you a new rim, had this happen to me before and they tried to fix it but it just wasn't right, they ended up buying a new rim.;)

Yeah, in the end, you're usually better off just getting a new wheel and not going through the process of trying to refinish one, but you'll have to see how their work turns out.
