Nope, unless the chrome has a chip or gets chipped then it might rust.

You must remember the question not asked is the stupid question. Personally I'm glad you asked!wgcdre said:
Salty Island Bowy opinion
Im originally from Bermuda - a humid Island prone to salt spray form the ocean - oxidation of aluminum, amd other non-ferrous metals is often accelrated in these conditions, Chorme rims if not buffed and cleaned on a regular basis will bubble, pit and peel and soon corode underneath.
I thought i had escaped the wrath of the 'Salt Demon' When i moved out here to Arlington VA in the metro DC area. Teh my wife pointed out the road salts used to reduce snow and ice during the winter, this blew my mind. Damn it!
I will be taking delivery of the 1st AWD 300C to be sold here in this area - - Its Black and fully-full on loaded, it was originnally ordered by the Canadian Embassy here in DC. But they were impatient bought 2 reg 300C's of the lot. I have already had my rims and all the goodies ordered and/or delvired sitting in my garage including the custom made emblems & badges I designed .
I am now looking at what might be a really harsh winter out here so i am planning to keep the OEM rims on until Spring. Do many of you do this here in the States where you experience harsh weather? i.e. Keep the stock shoes on during the harsher months and change out the flashy rims during the 'show me' months...Sping Summer and late fall.
Anyway can't wait to get rollin i will post pics and give performancew rewies on the AWD hamdling as time rolls by.
Good luck keeping the chrome shining everyone.
