Default 73mm to 56.1 mm aluminium spigot rings

Hello,
I am looking for aluminium spigot rings from 73mm to 56.1mm but I can only find plastic ones.
Do you guys know where I can source some? They are for some Prodrive wheels.
Edit: I've found these which are 6mm: 56.1 MM ALLOY SPIGOT RING FITS A 73MM WHEEL / YD-HR73561A and if that doesn't include the protruding lip and is only the recess they should fit.
Thanks!

If the dimensions are correct why not?
I am not a fan of plastic ones, my previous Prodrive wheels came with aluminium ones.

if its the correct fitment then it should make no difference as its only a 'location' and doesn't carry the wheel loading

must be millions of people out there with plastic spigots and no issues

Plastic ones are a little bit bigger where You fit them with some light hammering, not sure You can fit tight alloy to an alloy but probably Yes if they sells them.

I've had no issues with plastic ones, as Alyn said they normally don't have much impact. The wheel manufacturer of the wheels I use actually said I didn't need them as the wheels centralise on the lugs if done up correctly.

Could the plastic ones not get too hot and deform when driving on track? I definitely had issues warping plastic center caps with the heat. So was thinking getting aluminium ones, too but could see them being a pain to install.

driftshop.com sells aluminium ones.

Thanks Alyn for confirming they don't take the wheel loading, so it's not necessary to run any at all.

I have melted plastic spigot rings on track before so definitely get aluminium if you are planning track use!
