How hot does this dealer think you tyres get? Even if you drive really really hard you will stilll be able to put your hand on them - so there is no way it will cause the wheels to overheat.

You could possibly (but again very unlikely on alloy wheels) cause them to heat up with excessive breaking - but this would probably result in the disks and pads wearing out first.

What product are you using to clean the wheels? Don't forget most wheels cleaners actually use an acid to remove the hard to shift dust.
