Default Coating for newly painted wheels?

Soon I will have my BBS JDM wheels back from the shop after refinishing. They will be freshly painted and clear coated. I will have spent way too much money on them by the time they are done, so I am interested in doing anything I can to keep them in good shape and make them last as long as possible. I'll be driving on the street only. I have some time before the season starts. Any recommendations?

You might want to talk to the shop that painted them, and/or the coating manufacturer. I had read an article a while back saying a fresh paint job needed time to completely cure before applying a ceramic coating/paint film.
