    So far:
    Such a protective product has eluded me.

    Instead:
    I've opted to never expose any of my
    chromed-wheels to such contaminates
    as you have described.

    Painted "Steelies" can be a
    Wintertime best friend!

    Great advice Bob...

    Sacrifice some wheels you don't care about instead of wheels you do care about.

    Here's an unconventional way to protect the wheels, apply a thick coat of a hard wax and don't wipe it off.

    The goal is to SEAL the surface so no external substance can make contact with the wheel.

    Check the wax coating once in a while and make sure heat from your brakes isn't removing it.

    There are a number of hard waxes available on AGO from Dodo Juice. Color wouldn't matter, just a hard layer of wax.

    Spray them with plastidip for the Winter? Then, just peel it off for the Spring.

    That would look better than what I was thinking of suggesting; cosmoline.
