Aluminum doesn't rust....The clear coat comes off over time and they "oxidize"/pit/scale up from road salt. They can't take the abuse a steel can. Steelies you can strip and paint or powdercoat. If you only mud occasionally and no rough stuff......aluminums will work and they do look good....unless you hit a rock...which will take a chunk out. Depends on your personal preference really.
