For the most part treat them like they are the paint on your car.....
Take care when washing and etc.
In lieu of wax I would use a polymer sealant since it can handle the high heat better.

Are the alloys clear coated? If so, use the polymer sealant or a product made for coated wheels - Mothers Clear Coat Wheel Polish.
If not coated, you`ll need an aluminum polish - Mothers, Wenol, Semichrome, Eagle-1, etc.
If you`re not sure the wheels are coated, rub a small amount of aluminum polish on a wheel. It should turn black. If it doesn`t, there is a clear coat on the finish.
