nope, never heard of the stuff. From the name Rim Wax it doesnt sound like a polisher... so if you wheels are raw and not painted or coated, you need to find a polishing product to remove the oxidation while it polishes, a wax doesnt do that, a wax goes on last.
So that being the case, after you polish and clean you wheels, any decent wax should do the trick.
If youre truck is a DD, I would highly recommend having them cleared... they can be cleaned in a fraction of the time and just like any clear, you can buff them and apply wax after.
I have polished billet wheels on my marauder and they are cleared, cleaning them is the easiet thing to do when i detail the car.

this may sound dumb but does anyone have a problem with animals pissing on your wheels. yeah i know disgusting but its happened several times now and it corrodes the wheel and pisses me the F off.

Mothers polish with a powerball, it gets the job done.
Follow it up with wax and you will have a few months of easy cleaning.
My favorite wax was collinite 845 the stuff is bullet proof
