I would not use ANY carnauba protection on wheels, as they tend to get hot, and carnauba will literally melt off...
A sealant is the way to go...Something durable, and easy to work with...Jetseal 109, DG #105, Jeff's Werkstatt...

845 is not a true "nuba" and works GREAT on rims from my personal experience

Unless your tracking a car..or pulling a boat or trailer up and down hills...your wheels will not get that hot...I never felt my wheels so hot I could not touch them....collinite works perfect on wheels....


if your wheels are hot so you can not touch them under normal driving..better check them...

I've had good luck using Zaino Z2 on my wheels. Seems to withstand the heat very well. Although I would think 845 would be a great choice as well, haven't tried that yet though.
