For regular weekly use - Bilberry wheel cleaner

For removal of brake dust etc a few times a year - IronX

For protection - Poorboys wheel sealant

I agree that Bilberry and Iron X are great products - but I've not used Pooboys as a wheel sealer.

The Mk7 Gti's std 18" wheels are interesting as they've got a diamond cut face but are painted black inside and have deep ridge that goes behind the spokes. Therefore after the wheel cleaner, I would advise using a soft wheel brush and some diluted car shampoo (but more concentrated than you would use on the car bodywork); to wash out this ridge and get in behind the spokes! :)
