Clay bar kit from meguires will work if they are stubborn.

Otherwise I would wash them with soap and water and follow with wax to protect it. Because with alloy wheels they usually clear coat them from the factory and the wax will help.

It is the same stuff. Alloy wheels are clear coated with clear paint to protect them. Worked for me when I was living in TN during snow season.
