The alloy ones are one piece so they won't fatigue like the weld in steel ones, however I've never heard of steel ones breaking, and the alloy ones will probably oxidise as for the price they are probably a crap chinese grade. I've got them tho! www.topcatcustom.co.uk |

You could get the ally ones anodised If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
