The alloy hubs are disposable and if your doing a lot of kms then I certainly wouldn't use them on the street. I have both and swap between them depending on street or track. They save quite a few kgs which is very important on the track. Funny once your on the weight saving your looking at every kg you can get. Weight saving is an obsession and parts are starting to look like swiss cheese ..... LOLiv spoken to a machinest mate previously about alloy hubs, i was looking at them for the rear floater kit. he advised me againest them from a reliability stand point.
he had no doubt there ok for the time been, but long term racing no.
an alloy hub would be one of those components that are "lifed", after a certain race distance they are replaced regardless whether they pass an inspection.
this is why i was talked out of it.
food for thought.
If its only a street car .... then forget the alloy hubs.
