A good polymer sealant like Meguiars #20 does a great job protecting the finish. Tire Rack also sells Wheel Wax, never tried it but have heard good things about it.

Best way to wipe down the wheel after a drive is to first let it cool and then use a Quick Detailer. Mist the wheels with the detailing spray and then wipe with a large cotton towel. Keep this towel dedicated for just the wheels and wash at least once a week.
