2. plastic will deform too easily, even if the tolerances are tight, I can't see it taking several hundred pounds of load without deforming to the point where the studs are carrying the load anyways.

3. Constant thermal cycles might crack the plastic and I'd be worried about high temps from braking possible melting the rings.

IMO aluminum is better for track duty.

Huh?

If you install your wheels correctly, you do not need hubcentric rings.
