Judging by the pics of the wheels & the pic of the very weathered condition of the sticker you posted, I think your car has had a pretty hard life in the 2 years since it was built.
One thing I've noticed since buying mine is how quickly brake dust & road grime build up on the wheels. The wheels & the front spoiler are the 2 most vulnerable parts on this car with the wheels being the most expensive to replace. The brake dust/road grime film is quite noticeable even after a single a day or 2 of nice weather driving. I try to wash the wheels thoroughly with soap & water with a soft long hair brush at least weekly in the warm months when I'm driving it. Polishes & wax make them look nice but not sure how much or how long they really protect the chrome. I think if you really want to stave off corrosion, you need to regularly and thoroughly clean them.
