Dont aluminum ones make alot of noise? i thought thats why the plastic ones were better

Ordered a set online. Not sure about being aluminum ones being more noisy. Aluminum just makes more sense to me.

Q: Which ring should I use, those hi-tech looking
aluminum rings or the composite Polycarbonate
plastic?
A: While aluminum rings look Hi-Tech, they actually are not as
good as the composite Polycarbonate plastic rings.
The drum or rotor snout of most vehicles are made of cast
iron, so when a raw aluminum ring is placed directly against
it and even a small amount of moisture gets in, corrosion
occurs almost immediately, making it very difficult to get the
wheel off of the car.
The composite Polycarbonate material acts like an "O"-ring,
eliminating this common problem. |
