You could go ahead and clear coat them. The brake shoes will wear it off fast enough, but the rest of the rim will still be coated. i don't know if it'll help, but it won't hurt.
If by any chance the brake shoes aren't able to wear through the coating fast enough for your liking, you can spin the wheel while holding a bit of fine sandpaper or scotchbrite against the brake track.
