Absolutely,

I Zymol my wheels about twice a year. It helps a little with the brake dust, and keeps them looking shiny.

Me too, I use a heat resistant polymer, not a carnauba, which lasts longer and does a really good job. Do it inside and out.

I had never heard of waxing one's wheels before, until I read a post by BradB, so I used the Meguirs NXT...easy and quick....does make wiping off the brake dust a snap

I use either Klasse or Zaino. Both of these will outlast practically anything else on the market. But using ANYTHING will be an improvement.
