I get a lot of detailing products from here. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-and...cat_7.html
On the page I've linked to it has pretty much everything you could need for your weels. I personally use Gtechniq C5 on my wheels but it is pretty expensive, having said that one application will last for up to 2 years whereas a general wax like you've used will last 6 to 8 months and still get penetrated by brake dust, and most wheel specific waxs will last 8 months to a year. Autofinesse Mint Rims is supposed to be really good and long lasting though. They are both on the page I linked to.
The higher temperatures and the extra amount of brake dust fallout means the wheels live in a very harsh atmosphere and therefore need extra tough protection... If you are a total perfectionist like me... haha
Cheers,
Chris
