Snow will never affect your rims, unless of course they have somehow been deeply gashed. Salt is of course a combination of two quite reactive ions and also strong dessicant so that its always problematic. But using reasonable care todays alloy rims should withstand the effects of NaCl.

You'll probably have a bigger problem with the exposed brake system.

Yhea major rusting. Hopefully using the brakes will keep the rust from forming on the part of the rotor it comes in contasct with and the rust will fall off and not stick to the pads cause the rust could cause the brakes to slip and be less effective. (either if it is on the pads or rotors)
