If you put tire chains on an alloy rim and they are not tight, it will take "chunks" out of the rim. Steel rims will just need some paint. As for road salt, an alloy rim will show a white powder, Steel will show brown/red rust. SAME THING! Bbbuuuttttt, The steel rim will give signs when it is getting unsafe, an alloy rim headed towards failure may not show anything external, just like an old airplane, BOOM, the aluminum failed and something fell off.
