Well, if they're metal they're usually aluminum, so no rusting there. And they're usually anodized as well, so they won't even corrode.

And don't worry about the plastic sagging or anything like that - once the lugs are torqued down, the compression of the wheel against the rotor is holding the weight of the car, not the hub itself.
