Told by seller that they are SLRP brand. I know you get what you pay for most of the time, but they're so cheap it's hard not to be intrigued.

i've got the unorthodox, they look similar but not identical, bolting what may not be a perfectly weight balanced pully to your main crank might not make the savings worth it . . .
i recommend authentic products always, and the unorthodox pullies were probably the single best return for the dollar mod i've made on my g, even though they were about the cheapest . . .
just my .02

I just asked the seller if there is some kind of guarantee and/or return policy. If it sounds good, I'll get them and let you guys know.

I mostly want to make sure they fit right, and are balanced. You'll feel if they are out of balance. I'm sure they are much much lighter, so that's fine.

i sent them a message as well stating that i have a couple of my forum buddies interested in your product but are unsure of them being junk or unbalanced. I asked if he would be willing to give a discount for a test to try them out and check on the performance gains. I also said that if all checks out great then i will be sending customers his way for a great product. Also asked about the return/guarantee/warranty if any policies...

I wouldn't buy or install those parts into my engine. The Unbalanced pulleys can damage engine greatly amount over time.

I usually recommend authentic products also, usually they are better but not always.

I saw these pullies 4/s months ago but decided to pass,
there has to be at least one person on this site who has these ...come on guys step up

I just got an email back from them today and they told me that if i was to order these and took pics after the install and sent pics back to them then they would refund me 20 dollars.. I asked them about warranty or fitment issues as well as if they were unbalance and caused engine problems what they would do to fix this....I am awaiting an email back from them on this but i will keep everyone posted...I may end up getting them and let everyone know the isssues.
