I use a cheap Turtle Wax paste wax on my wheels, I don't think "wheel" specific wax gains anything.

So do you wax your wheels then or just clean them regularly?

Default It works...but it's nothing sensational compared to other decent paste waxes...

smells right purty, though.

Default Agreed -->

I find that getting the road grime off the inside is a lot easier and brake dust will come off with a quick wipe.

At least put something on the wheels...

I use it when I change over winter/summer. maybe once more in-between.
