    aluminium vs steel hubs

    Thinking about getting some alum. rear hubs.

    Anyone care to comment on how they last or if you have had any wear issues?

          All I've ran is aluminum on my super bomber. I took a real hard hit in the LF wheel and it actually broke the wheel to the point where I had to cut it to get the tire off and bent the upper a-arm and ball joints. Hub is just fine. Not even a stud was bent. They're pretty durable and can take some abuse.
