my rims are just semigloss silver OEM for my MSBlue 08. I don't botherwith a special cloth for those. WD cleans wheels off just don't get on your brakes rotors. I have used Black magic wheel cleaner. Work great. Strong stuff. rinse really well.
I hear Mother's makes some nice products for chrome. I don't imagine you need anything fancy to clean the goop off. Just to keep it nice and polished after. To be on the safe side, I'd go with a microfiber cloth. More for paint IMO. Chrome is pretty hard but why risk scuffing it up while you wash it? Ya careful not to fub on the sand and solid crap that sticks on that flawless surface.
Chain wax will fling less. I use grease in cold weather. Wax in warm.
