Are the spacers available in aluminum?

Edit: I have 25mm spacers on the rear axle of my '82 and they're some sort of aluminum alloy. Three years and no corrosion.
I was thinking about the mating surfaces and based on the thickness, would decide what to do. It's not a part I would remove very often, so I want it to last.

The part is 30mm thick and might be ok with aluminum, but I thought as a track car, steel might be better.
