Buy a good Quality alloy wheel cleaner such as Meguiars Hot Rims if you have time take the wheel off and fully clean it inside and out with the cleaner, when dry use either a dedicated alloy wheel wax or even the wax you use on your paintwork (if you do) i use the wax i use on my paintwork!

and then keep them clean by regular washing! you dont need to use the Cleaner everytime if you clean them regular just every few washes maybe!

any black spots that dont come off with the clener can be taken off with Autoglym Tar Remover etc! then clean that off and dry then wax!
