I have a set off CCW's that I would really like to use opti-coat or cquartz on, so Im really interested in how this turns out. I tried applying Sharkhide, and while I believe it would seal the wheels, the application/results were not good at all. I even attempted to spray the Sharkhide but I ended up removing the product.
HRE 549 R's ... Help me keep them PERFECT!

Should I conclude that the sharkhide gave the wheels a very cloudy appearance? The pics of wheels with it on look like the shine is reduced considerably. It doesn't look like a very clear coating.

The issue I had was applying the product. You are supposed to wipe it on in one direction, and if you go over a section that hasnt cured it makes a mess. Applying to a large suface probably wouldnt be to bad, but a wheel is another story.
On polished metal can be a rainbow effect....like a soap bubble.

If there was a safe way to chrome plate these, that is what I would do. Chrome is a lot more scratch resistant than aluminum. I know that chroming steel wheels can make them brittle and break under heavy stress like racing, so it is important to find people who know what they are doing.
