And no wax won't do the same Fact:wax has a melting point of about 350* trust me a few stop signs later and your there. Paint sealent like Meg's NXT or Mother Syntac(sp?) have higher melting points but still don't last much longer then wax. It's just to hot in that area for them to handle that's why they invented wheel sealent to withstand the heat. I have some on my moms Caddy and they look great, here a little more back up to my statments

EDIT:True waxes melt at 135 degrees, Sealants melt at about 465 degrees

Are you planning on driving it with chrome rims during the winter? If so, avoid it unless you have a garage when you can clean your rims daily.
I use Klasse All In One acrylic sealant.
It lasts a lot longer then regular waxes.(Yes I have tried the wheel wax and looked good but DID not last more then two weeks.)
Klasse can last over 6 weeks with regular care. Washing with car shampoo instead of wheel cleaners(I find the Klasse coated wheels can be washed easily with car soap because the brake dust cant bond or stick to the chrome)
