HEY! Just noticed these on Fleabay. No experience with them, but they ought to be more durable than the Nylon ones that everyone seems to have trouble with.

Who's going to be the first to try one?
No pictures of the backside of it, eh? It's tempting as an impulse purchase, at that price...
I dunno, if the nylon gets loose the nylon wears out rather than rounding off the corners of the nut. The aluminum might round off a bit of the nut so it won't be tight. I think I'll stick with the nylon, not that it's been a problem,
Aluminum beats nylon in Rock-paper-scissors all day long
Has anyone tried these yet?
I dont see a hole in those to mount, and the nylon one offers some adjustability. But like mentioned, the nylon one has not really been an issue, If you replace it every 60 or 70.000 miles.

Im over 100,000 miles and on my second one, never had one fail yet, just replaced as a proactive measure from wear..
the nylon one is a press fit , that offers some flexibility with mounting, I doubt the aftermarket aluminum would offer the same tight but flexible fit.
