I think for just day to day cleaning most people use Mother's Wheel Polish or Blue Magic. Many people wax or Zaino their wheels as well.
Depending on how **** you are about your wheels, you could consider getting them powdercoated clear.
There's also another product called Zoop Seal that's supposed to last a very long time once the wheel is polished but that's about all I remember about it.

yeah those look polished... I would use a good metal polish or jusr plain Mothers wax on them. I used mothers carnuba wax on my old wheels, now I use mothers chrome polish for my chrome Z06's
