Can aluminum rims that have corrosion cause a tire to lose air?

Yes, they definitely can. The best solution I have found is to remove tires and sand the corrosion off with a sander or wire brush on a drill, then fill pits and varnish over the filling. When tires are replaced, tire shops have a thick greasy gunk they spread over this to prevent air escaping. Another solution, of course, is to fit an inner tube in these cases.
