Can I quad skate the same plates like forever or is it safer to buy new plates after X years?

I have skated the same set of Sure Grip Jogger plates since 1989, am skating 10mi/day these days on the streets. I had a wheel nut come off and a king pin break in two separate accidents in the last year. Injured both times. I figure to replace nuts and kingpins once in a while from now on. Am I safe to keep skating my now over 30 year-old Sure Grip Jogger plates (aluminum) or should I buy a new set of plates, e.g. Sure-Grip Super X Skate Plates?
