Any suggestions for treatment or care of Alcoa wheels prior to mounting? Wax or other treatment?

Tires were next on my list for the GMC. I had a momentary laps of financial reason and ordered a set of Alcoa rims (I have not told the CFO yet, any suggestions on that would be appreciated as well).

Wheels will come from Jim K through Ken Frey, so I managed to support two vendors with one order.

Since I am not in a rush to get them mounted I could take some additional time and wax or prepare them if there is a best practice. I have always put a couple coats of wax on my painted steel or chrome wheels, but I never dealt with aluminum and not sure if there is a preferred product.
