Wire wheel color - to clear or not to clear?

So I just finished apply Moss silver to the wheels and it looks pretty good. A bit worried that putting a clear on it will make them a bit to shiny, but also a bit worried that no clear will mean a short life span for the paint.

Any tips to pass along guys?

Thanks!
 
I agree that the clear might make them too shiny. How about a matte or satin clear?
 
I used a satin clear on my wires and was never happy. It didn't take long for the heat to start to yellow the clear, and then it started to peel off. The clear came off easily with a power washer, then I repainted.
