Clearcoated or painted wheels should be treated like the painted body panels on your car: cleaned with car wash soap or other safe cleaner, clay bar, polish, wax, etc. Metal polishes could damage the coating due to their abrasive nature.

Uncoated, polished aluminum wheels should be polished regularly using metal polish to remove oxidation, restore shine, and protect them. One of my favorites is Meguiar's NXT Metal Polysh, which I use with a Mother's Powerball drill attachment. Other popular brands are Heavy Metal Polish and English Custom.
