When i've used my BBS's in winter months i've tried using jetseal109 and belgom alu, both very good products at keeping polished aluminium clean shiney and protected. Your biggest worry with wheels like this is the road salt as it can cause a lot of damage if left on the bare aluminium. I made sure i gave the wheels a wash down after everydays use

Everyday? Or just days when the roads were horrible.
I won't clear coat them they cost alot of money so don't want to risk ruining them.

Yep gave them a wipe over with a cloth everyday especially when the roads were damp, maybe i was just being anal about it but the wheels cost me a fair whack as well as time & effort so didn't want to ruin them.
if the weather/roads aren't too bad you may be able to get away with leaving them if they are protected with some form of wax/sealer

i ruined my rm's last winter so my rs's won't be going anywhere near the road until spring
just run the standard/winter wheels
corrosion is one thing but any mishaps with potholes/kerbs could be potentially costly
