Wax away good sir! They look great! You can use a wax or sealant... There are also wheel waxes on the market. Use a synthetic wax for a longer lasting application. With regular washing you'll need to wax them every 6 weeks or so.
 
Don't use carnauba wax because it will break down easily. Try using optiseal; just make sure that your wheel is really clean before applying it.
