I wouldn't use it on any wheel m8 as it is acid based and if used a lot, it will slowly take the finish off of the wheel surface.
My opinion anyway.
Just wax them with turtle wax, and this should get all of the c#?p off of them.

when u buy tsw's it comes with a note saying never to use any wheel cleaner as they are acid based. and take the finish away, they advise to use hot soapy water. - it works for me

a V powerfull jet wash is usually good, esp if you take the wheels off and do inside too.

from a vallerters point ov view
if u regularly wahs your car and wheels then there is no need for any kind ov wheel treatment
this is the best option full stop
now your wheels i asume are baked in orange brown crap that wont budge with a sponge
stuff like wonder wheels can be used once or twice without to much harm, its when there used day in and day out that problems occur.
if u clean your car at least once a week u will have no probs with brake dust sticking to wheels (as long as u do them properlly).
using body polish to give the wheels a shine afterwards is a good idea as long as u remove ALL traces ov polish from the wheel (dont think a quick buff is good enough) Old polish + brake dust means even more cleaning next time
DO NOT USE WAX ON WHEELS
u will end up sealing in crap on the painted surface which will be a arse to take off in future (i have been there b4 and had to use cutting compound to brink back the origanl finnish).

I never realised wonder wheels was so bad. I'll be sure to wash my car at least every 2 weeks from now on.
