Regular car wax will be just fine. I suggest Mother's since I biased on my car cleaning products!

Mothers is the way to go. You should always wax your rims, it helps keep the brake dust build-up to a minimum. If you can find a Teflon wax, even better.

I just bought LUCAS wheel polish that is safe for clear coats.... can be used on paint and windows too!!! this stuff removes road tar from the inside of the rims w/ relative ease.

BTW I have the polished 18's
