Default Corroded rims causing air to leak.

My front tire on my 2001 limited edition PT cruiser has a slow leak. I went to get it looked at and they told me, "Eventually you'll need to get new rims" and filled my tire up. They said that my valve stem hole was corroded and may eventually cut the valve stem.

So I did a lot of googling and found out that many other people have this same problem. I don't know what the next step is. Do I contact a Chrysler dealership? Buy new rims? Take it to a tire specialist and have them sand off the corrosion?

I have to make a 200 mile drive tonight and am worried that my car is unsafe to drive on. What would you advise?
