SS/TC Wheel Polish?

I'm looking for a nice wheel polish for the stock ss/tc rims. The local autozone carries Mothers but I noticed they have a few different kinds.

Is this what I need?

The Mag and Aluminum Polish?
I'm assuming I dont need the billet metal polish right?

Thanks

NXT GenerationŽ Tech WaxŽ 2.0 from Mequires(paste or spray on) is what I use for both body and wheels on my 08 SS/TC.

Your wheels have a clear coat finish on them to protect the metal. A metal polish is useless since you would not truly be polishing metal. Just use a good wax. Trust me that is all you need. I use Gold Class wax on my wheels and they look great!
