When I got my new wires there was an info sheet with them that recommended 
sealing the heads of the spokes with silicone prior to greasing and 
installing.  Has been working for over 20 years, I just use bearing grease.

I have been using this grease called Super Impact Grease. # SIG-3000, the 
tube
says its for fleet and heavy equipment. One of the reasons I chose it was 
they
say it won't "pound out ".and I was tired of wiping off the grease from my
wire wheels and with me installing chrome wires I was even more concerned .
Well so far it is working out just fine .I live in Florida where it's hot a
lot and I have yet to see the grease on my wires.
