Default Wax on rims?

I just got my SF Challenge rims in and I heard that waxing them before putting them on is a good thing to do? Its easier to clean off the break dust in the future or something I guess. Is this true? How do you guys maintain your wheels to keep them fresh?

If you wax the wheels, the brake dust doesn't stick on as much and the wheels will be easier to clean. Don't use anything that polishes though, as many aftermarket wheels are clearcoated and the polish will scratch up the clearcoat.
