I'm sure they add the same power. Aluminum may be lighter, but more expensive. They will also look better too.

even the steel ones weigh next to nothing, so the aluminum can't save much weight...a couple of ounces maybe.

Most aluminum ones will eventually wear through. Unless they are Hard Anodized.

I'd go with the steel.

Whichever is cheaper my friend. Go with those ones. I highly doubt the ounces saved in wieght will amout for much at all in way of times at a track.

I should have added that the ounces won't mean anything....I think people took me the wrong way...no big deal though....
