Nice idea. Aluminum would've cost more, but avoid any need for painting (and possible future "issues" between the paint and the tire sidewall).

There's two reasons I didn't: #1, I knew a convenient place to go for iron and steel (they don't stock aluminum); #2, Mr. dummy didn't think of it! Hey, it's my first mod ever and didn't turn out too bad.
