Will the stock rims corrode due to the salt or is wise to get a cheap set of steel rims and put them on for the winter???

They are alloy. You should be OK. Corrosion resistance is much higher than steel, almost non-existent. Oh, and look a lot better too

They should be fine however I would still recommend you get another set of wheels for your winter tires(if that's what you intend to do). Swapping will be made easily throughout the year.
