RotaryFX light weight pulleys.

so i just received an email from RotaryFX about their new pulleys in red as well as blue. i know pulleys have no "real" effect in performance for our cars. but it would be a nice little dress up part to add. let me know what you guys think. i'm just a little hesitant about purchasing from them.


heres the link.

Hmm.. I can't speak for RotaryFX's actually 'performance' products, but I know quite a few people who are extremely unhappy with build quality / durability and reliability on other items purchased from them. Personally, I would be hesitant to buy them as well. Not really necessary, and the real effect they would have would be minimal.

If you got the extra cash, try it out.

To be honest, I don't THINK it would be comparable to a Greddy product. These appear to be RotaryFX's own products - They are not selling them for another company / third party. And like I said, RotaryFX doesn't have the greatest rep for quality around here. Don't get me wrong - I am sure some of their stuff is great, but I haven't heard a lot of good stuff.

Check out their section in the Vendors Forums. Maybe someone there has bought these or something similar. But to me, no, they cannot be compared to Greddy. Greddy Should be much better.
