Hi Ian,
In our opinion, it's definitely well worth putting either a dedicated wheel wax or sealant on the wheels... not only does it help to keep them nice and shiney, but it will also help to reduce the build up of road grime and muck, as well as helping to repel things like brake dust and tar, which makes the wheels much easier to clean and maintain.
There are a couple of good options available... some of our favourites are Rimwax Wheel Wax, Poorboys Wheel Sealant, FK1000P or our own formula Wheel Sealant. Which one to go for really is down to personal preference - all of them are easy to use, all of them are designed specifically to withstand harsher conditions that wheels are subjected to, and all of them leave behind a nice glossy finish... the only difference really is price (and smell!
)
If you're looking at products that are gentler on the pocket, then either our own Wheel Sealant or Poorboys Wheel Sealant would be your best options - both excellent products but at a good price.

Slightly more expensive is the Rimwax, but again, it's an excellent product so it's well worth the money.

If you're looking for something that you can use for other things (rather than having to buy a product dedicated purely to the wheels) then it would have to be the FK1000P, as you can use this product on the paintwork.

Hope this helps
