Can I use regular wax on rims?

Hey guys, specifically Natty Blue, can I just use that on my 328 rims? Theyre the sport rims, so I *think* they are painted.

yes. I used to put vaseline on my rims (collected more dust, but much easier to clean)

Interesting, anyone else ever try this vaseline method out?

I don't know -- wouldn't vaseline fling all over the inside of the wheel well and the side of the car once the tires got warm? I'm assuming you must use a very light coat of it?

Oh - and I should add that I read here all the time about people waxing their painted rims. I Zaino-ed my new rims before putting them on, in the hopes that they'd be easier to clean later.
