AJ:
In the FWIW category when ERA builds my car I will be using SS spinners for the two following reasons:
1. Minimize the galling that happens when you have two similar metals in contact. Galling will still happen so anti-seize will still have to be used but it will be minimized.
2. Strength. There have been instances of wings of the aluminum spinners breaking and I feel that SS will reduce this possiblity.
I'm fully aware that I'm going to be increasing the unsprung weight of the car but, since it's going to be a pure street machine I'm willing to take the hit.
Estimated cost is $300 for the spinners.
There has been at least one thread that addresses the galling and broken spinner wing issue.
