Stainless Steel Versus Aluminium Rotary Accents

Hi guys,

trying to decide whether to buy my accents from rotary131b.com or rx8strakes.com.

One of them sells aluminium and the other sells stainless steal accents. Is there any advantage to choosing one over the other???

Thanks!

I would say the aluminum would be softer, and might bend if something were to jump into it... rocks... but I dont' really know, so don't go by that...

But is the first site that you posted? I tried it, and it was nothing.

If your going to buy accents get the stainless steel . I've had mine for 2 year now and they look like new . If you get snow where your at then deff, get the steel.

Aluminum gets pitted (especially front - gets oxidized - won't hold shine). I've had both - SS vastly superior from an appearance standpoint over time.
