Most factory alloys are already clearcoated at the factory, so doing it again wouldn't really help... they'll still get pitted and damaged from salt in the winter. I would highly recommend not using alloys in the winter if you can help it at all.

And, uhh, you're apparently not aware that when you put on smaller wheels you compensate with tires that have a bigger sidewall. Thus the overall diameter of the tire doesn't change and there would be no problems with the speedo being incorrect. Just a little friendly FYI..
