they def corrode, but that seems super excessive and I am sorry to hear how you are being treated.
I am no professional mechanic but my experience covers over 10+ years of swapping between summer and winter wheels in winters from mild to heavy. I have 2 sets of steels and 3 sets of BMW alloys (Style 68, 45, and 281) as winter wheels and they are stored in my non-climate controlled garage. I almost never clean them so during the heavier winters, the salt never comes off. The style 68 and 45's are the oldest (e46 generation) and just have a touch of corrosion on some edges.
IMHO, something out of the ordinary happened to yours. Good luck.
