What's the low down on high-impact plastic rings vs. metal rings?
Which is better? Or does it even matter? Have anyone seen or experienced warped, cracked, melted high-impact plastic rings (assuming properly installed)?

On my last set of rims I had plastic centering rings. They didn't damage at all, but I did have a ***** of a time getting them off the fronts the last time, like they'd melted a bit onto the hub maybe - I used a stanley knife to pry them up in the end.
