Anything (sealants) will help, but none are a permanent fix. They will all need re-application. So with this in mind, a spray sealat is the easiest. Opti-seal works great in my experience, and does any spray and leave product. Armor All has a wheel protectant that can be found otc and for teh cheap, and works (unlike their other products).
Opti-coat, Cquartz, C4 also work great but should be applied with wheels off the car, might as well do the barrels if you are going to get that serious.
Once sealed, stay away from cleaners, just wash with shampoo or the sealant will be stripped (sans maybe the nano coatings).

If a wheel sealant like DP is too time consuming for you then your options are very limited. You could try the new spray-on Amor All. Some say it works, some say it doesn't.

I would go with the Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0, then try and rinse the wheels off at least once a week.

Re: need help with wheels
The best solution is to change the brake pads, the best are AKEBONO.
