Can I run these split rims in the winter, without them corroding? The centres and the bolts are powder coated and the dish is diamond cut ...

The diamond cut lip will be the problem. Personally I wouldn't subject them to use through the winter

They will need constant cleaning when the salt is on the roads. I ran a set of diamond cut BBS wheels through winter & they started to pit very quickly, I ended up washing them off every journey rolleyes

If they have been lacquered they won't suffer half as bad.

You can run them, but they'll look nasty come spring time...
