Hub Centric Ring Material Choice
Is there any information about the pros/cons of various materials available for hub centric rings? Going to run them with my 17x10+38 RPF1s on my GR but looks like there are aluminium ones, plastic ones and some other sorta material.
Thanks.

You want aluminum if you will be on track getting your wheels crazy hot. I had a center cap soften up and pop out. On the street and other things that only get the wheels warm at most, plastic is fine. My plastic ones have held up for a long time in street, winter, and rallycross.
