Aluminum doesn't rust to my knowledge. Though you have to maintain their look, as they will get dull. I use windex and paper towels.
I'd say polish them. I'm glad I did mine. Something unique about my car.

I'm with Mark on that one. Expect the polishing to take a while though, like 4-6 hours a piece. Just cleaning them may sound better now, but the polished look cant be beat. Do a search to find out more info.
