I just used some Zaino Z5 on mine and they looked great, you can also use some Meq. NXT with probably the same results. With the amount of brake dust and dirt that build up on these wheels, a few good coats should be good for a few months, but not nearly as long as it would last on your paint.

I just wash them, make sure I get all of the road debris off of them and then put a coat of wax on them. I obviously take them off of the car for this process. I usually do this 2x each year.

Really wanna make 'em shine???....Take 'em off, send them to West Coast Corvettes to get 'em chromed...About $800 with shipping both ways....Those babies will REALLY shine then...and you'll still have genuine GM wheels!!!!....Or, sell your high polished wheels and buy a set of chrome reproductions ...You'll save substantial $$$ going this route, but you wont have genuine GM wheels....
I picked up two sets of GM high polished for my black 99 coupe and black 99 convertible and sent them in for chroming (tossed the wagon wheels)...Man do they look GREAT!!!!...If your car is black (or a dark color..blue, burgundy, etc) I assure you NOTHING will look better than chrome!!!
