i've used the plastic ones before but also had some aluminium ones before.

there's a guy on eBay who machines them if you send him what you want

On the subject of wheels. Turns out I need some spigot rings...avoid in general, or just avoid the plastic/polymer variants?

Thanks! I've done a bit more reading and now understand they don't actually provide any load bearing function, so seeing as I don't anticipate frequent wheel changes I think I'll just go plastic.

You don't even need the plastic ones, just tighten the wheels evenly, don't torque one all the way up while all the others are loose.
