Yes, they likely can be restored.

I have the same two piece wheels and they show no signs of breakdown of the clear coat (the life of a California car). I would guess sun, wheel cleaning chemicals and road salts or a combination of all.

To do a really good job of restoring you will likely need to disassemble the wheel - clean and clear coat and then re-assemble to the proper torque specs (in the proper order).

Busch Enterprises out of North Carolina makes a product called Clear Coat Remover made just for rims. www.buschshineproducts.com.

Brush it on; let dwell, then rinse off.

It's the right tool for the job. It doesn't require the removal or covering of the tire.

Afterwards, polish. Make sure you remove the polish residue (alcohol, naptha) before reclearing, since many metal polishes will leave a polymer coating behind that will prevent the clear from adhering.

Good luck.
