One more question. How many times have you broken a porcelain dish? Would you say it was a strong material? FYI, every single F-1 car has ceramic wheel bearings…how many bearing failures have seen on an F-1 car? No $hit Sherlock!

There are a lot of very light materials that can be used in some very highly loaded areas, provided you understand the strength of materials and know how to use them. A mechanic is not one of those people…neither a certified mechanic nor a “race car” mechanic. Not a single mechanic designed an F-1 car. They are designed by engineers, just like the Fit you are driving.

By the way, do us all a favor and give us the name of the shop that is doing your work…so we could all not touch it with a 10-foot pole and avoid it like the plague!
Just called the governing body of F1. There is no way they would even let those disks rida as passanger never mind be wedged between one of their wheels. Not even with a 10 foot pole...
