Have had fluid filled tires at our farm for over 40 years. Never lost a rim due to corrosion - when the tire starts leaking, FIX IT! Then rinse/clean the rim off after the hole is patched. Only rims I've seen lost to corrosion are the ones that are not promptly repaired (such as my H that had been sitting for 15 years). We even have fluid in the radials on our 2590 without tubes... in order for anything to rust, it will need a source of oxygen/air. If no air is getting in/exchanged there will be no rust. Had a rim split on our 1086 a couple years back, the break was fresh and there was zero corrosion around it... just one of those freak things from 30 years of fatigue, I guess.
