Most newer polished wheels are clear coated, if you wash them and then clay them followed by using your favorite polish/wax, that will keep them looking good.

polished aluminum wheels on 2002s are clear coated - I'm pretty sure they didn't change for 03

assuming they are clear coated, treat them just like the rest of the paint on your car - wash and wax
