Default Safe wax for Volk SF Challenge Rims

Hi folks,
I just got some Volk SF Challenge wheels for my 350Z, and have been reading some posts regarding cleaning wheels. I would be thankful if someone could clarify about waxing the wheels, should I use regular wax like Zaino or is there a special wheel wax/polish you would recommend and is waxing safe on the wheels.
Thanks-J

The more I use Z-6/Z-8 on them, the better they seem to look. Nice and smooth

Go with the zaino...

To keep water spots off of them, after you wash the car, you should thoroughly blow-dry all the cracks, holes, and crevices with an electric leaf blower. Then some water will be retained in the lip area, just wipe it up. Then once it's dry, finish with quick detailer like Z-6.

I've been using Poorboy's Wheel Sealant on my new Challenges after a wash (weekends, usually). For in-between brake dust cleanings during the week, I use Eagle One Wax-As-U-Dry as a quick detailer (don't want to scratch the finish wiping brake dust away).
