Well "plastic" is a generic term. I believe they are polycarbonate. Some are nylon. They have CroMo spindles though.
Like I said, the "plastic" version weighs half what the alloy version weighs. What's the downside? I'm not doing tricks or grinding things. Highly unlikely I'll break them. The bearings will go before the pedal does.
