They're painted & clearcoated so don't use anything on them you wouldn't use on the body panels and you'll be safe.

Does that mean we should clay and wax the wheels too?

I use the same soap/water that I use on my paint. Works fine.

I wouldn't go so far as to claybar the wheels unless you just like tedious work but definitely wax the hell out of them. Pull them off and put an extra heavy coat on the inside to help keep the brake dust and road crud from sticking to them as much.
