Default How to keep wheels the cleanest? Sealers and waxes?

I bought new wheels and was wondering what wheel wax or sealer is good to use to keep them the cleanest.

Thanks.

There is a product called Wheel Wax just for this purpose. Check it out at autopia.

Any wax on the market is ok because the wheel has a clearcoat like the paint on your car. Check into P21s though as they make a wax just for wheels.

+1 for Wheel Wax, great stuff.

I have used it on my previous wheels that had a polished lip, and on the stock BBS wheels.

P21 is great, however I have to slightly disagree on the clearcoat. Not all wheels have clearcoat, although most do. General rule of thumb is to apply in a small nonconspicuous spot to test whether discoloration or damage appears.
