if the wheels are black finished, I can only assume its powdercoat, u would use any type of paint product. Soap and water for grimey wheels, quick detailer spray for quick cleans in between washes, and rubbing compound or wax to remove haze and scratches. treat it like paint, theres no need to look in the wheel care section

Take a good terry cloth with you and dry at the car wash should take care of water spots.
