Keeping polished wheels looking good

I had a set of polished wheels once and swore that from then on, I would either have chrome or painted...

However, now I find myself considering a set of Mickey Thompson Classic Locks in the polished finish. So, I was wondering, short of polishing them all the time, does anyone have any good tricks to keep them nice?

I was considering:

1) Plasticoating them in the winter to keep salt off - anyone ever do that? If so, how did the wheels look plasticoated and after you peeled it off?
2) Using POR-15 GLISTEN PC and forgetting about them?
3) polish and wax?
4) Clear Powdercoating?

What do you all think? Just get the black ones?!

Contact the manufacturer as they may already have a protective coat so any polishing will destroy the finish. I personally wouldn't run a polished rim, even coated, in winter conditions where salt is present.
I have had great results from powder coated black wheels in winter salt conditions.
