Wheel finishes

I was looking on ebay at a set of wheels for my truck and came across a set of American Eagle Alloys model number 186. They have a what they call a super finish on them. Is that just another type of polishing? I was wanting a set of wheels that I don't have to polish every month. I would like to just be able to wash the wheels and be done with it. I know that the factory wheels that I have has a clear coat on the wheels. Would it be okay to spray a clear coat that is made for wheels on this type of finish? What is the widest size of tire that will fit on 16x8's?

I would guess that the "super finish" is the same as a polished finished with a coating. You won't want to go with a tire much wider than 12.5"/315mm on an 8" rim.
