Not their protectant, that's for tires, vinyl, plastic, etc.
303 does not make a wheel cleaner. You are best off using a dedicated wheel cleaning product, then waxing your wheels when they are clean and dry.

Simple Green is very very bad for rims.
Most OTC rim cleaners are too acidic or caustic for my taste.

Unless you're cleaning painted rims from the 50's, or let it sit out in the sun all afternoon, any OTC rim cleaner is perfectly fine.
I've never had a wheel that needed anything more than water, mild soap, and a rag to clean. What do you people drive through that you are forced to turn to acids to clean them up?
I found changing the brake pads on my BMW to Axxis/PBR deluxe plus solved all my wheel cleaning problems. Now I wash them the same way I do the rest of the car.
Carbon kevlar. Same results with better stoppping power. Now if you want stopping power and dust go EBC.

It won't clean them but it helps keep brake dust from sticking. Just spray some on the wheels when you spray the tires.

I don't even use it diluted! Especially now that I have bare aluminum wheels on my F250. Regular car wash soap and water and an MF towel does the trick. Even more now that I have to coats of REJEX on them.

Some of the black wheel dust can stick pretty good.
