Wenol is an excellent polish for non-clear coated wheels.
There are two different kinds of the Wenol polish, one is the "original" polish in a red tube, the other is the softer, gentler polish that comes in a blue tube.
I use the one in the blue tube for my wheels and it does a great job.
One other polish I've used on my wheels with great results is called Simichrome. It is also an excellent metal polish.
Here's a couple links that might help:

You can also use Wenol Polish. This is in a pink colored tube. It is much finer and you can acutally use it on your clearcoat without issues. Last a very long time too. For the wheels, I'd use the blue. A little of this goes along way.

I was wanting to do this myself. I pay $30 when I go to the car wash I have the guy use an orbital buffer on the wheels with polish. They come out beautiful. Does anybody know what pad to use? I want to take my wheels off and do the inside!
