Aftermarket P\S PULLEY

Is there a place that makes an aftermarket P\S pulley???? if there is who is it??? and if there is not would you guys want them made and what price tag would you guys want to see...
For thoes that dont know mazda list for these is right around 104.00 from MAZDA I was thinking around $50.00-$80.00 {before shipping} depending on the end cost...

Would this be a good idea???

Let me know what you guys think...


Later

I think it's a great idea as both UO Racing and SRM want over $140 per pulley and in some cases higher...

I would prefer if we had one made that it be billet (or close) and annodizing would be optional.

I'd be happy to pay $50-$80 for one as would at least 5 people I know... so much so that I'd front their cash.

I'm all for this!

I have the UO pulley kit but it does not include PS or AC pullies. I would like to replace those in billet aluminum.

SR has them:

Pettit Racing:

Not sure if Rotary Performance carries them as their site isn't working for me currently. If you can make and offer them cheaper than either of those two, you'll probably have some good sales.

What we really need is an AC pulley. As far as I know, no one makes one.

Agreed. It's just plain hard to make that compressor look good.

I was just posting last week looking for one. . . the ones I found are listed above and are selling for around $140. Little too rich for my blood right now, but I would be willing to pay 70-80 for a quality part. I would imagine the AC pulley would be a little more difficult because of the clutch.

How about a pair/set of A/C & P/S pullies? AO only sells their kits in polished now and I would prefer to have matching A/C & P/S then those two looking different and a fancy set for the rest. Even if they don't match the AO exectly if they still matched as a pair it would look niver then those being different and the orther pullies different as well.

UO racing makes a stock size PS pulley and it goes in the $125 to 140 range. UO makes most of the pullies in stock diameters as well as under drive. I also hav there stock size water pump pulley, the only one I'm running under size is the alternator.
