It wouldn't hurt. Many people wax their wheels in the summer too, it helps keep the brake dust from sticking and makes it easier to clean.

I would think it better to switch out your rims to some stock ones. That is what i plan on doing. Well that is what I would plan on doing if i didn't have a winter car.

Personally I would switch out my nice chromies for some other wheels/tires...say OE style 44's w/225/45/17 Continentals :devillook

If you're in NC I wouldn't worry about it to much :D Yes, I wax my wheels to protect them from the elements and this year I'm trying Rejex. Its a polymer and supposedly is great for keeping stuff from sticking to your rims (brake dust, salt, etc).
