See link below. Many folks have done it including myself (and I haven't heard of anyone with issues). In that thread I also included links to the decals I purchased.

Hope that helps,

Clear coat is not necessary. It puts a protective layer over the decals.

No because the rim should be taken off the car. Do you really think you should spray paint between the spokes?

I'm just going to use rubbing alcohol in between the rims and out them on without a clear coat over it. is that ok?

It's fine with me. The worse that can happen is that the decals fall off.
