Those look like Magnesium.... maybe you can elaborate.

As for cleaning in general with any wheel. The least abrasive the better. Most will spray some wheel cleaner, aggitate with a soft brush, rinse, wash the car and at the end use a terry cloth and left over soapy water and wash again.

Whatever is missed can be gone over again.

Some then either claybar, or polish of applicable. Then wax if they are really dedicated.

ADAMS METAL POLISH!!!!!!!!
http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-602-a...1-2-combo.aspx
Watch the vid!! Proof!! From Right around the 2:40 mark shows the power of this polish.

Best polish money can buy. Will make your aluminum rims look closer to chrome. EASY to use and since its a liquid formula, it will not get stick in the microscopic grooves which make the rim look like it has a white-ish film like ALL other proucts.

yeah the adams works great , as for just cleaning i use a light cleaner ,and use air to blow them off, the less a towel hits anything the better in my book
