Hey guys I'm going to be changing my belts soon and was looking at maybe changing the pulleys to lighter ones at the same time.

what are your thoughts on them? Isit just abit of engine pay "BLING" or do you see gains from it?

Might see a small gain on a dyno if you fitted light pulleys and light flywheel bit wont notice on the road

Lighten crank pulley kinda needs to go with a lighter flywheel and a balanced crank, pulleys like ps and alternator water pump are more just a bling thing

You can also look at a smaller water pump pulley if you do a lot of trackdays if you are going to the trouble of changing them. but like the others have said... bling!

Yes, you can put lightened under drive pulley's on which are good if you going to be doing any track work... Be careful with lightened alloy pulleys, they can break because they are alloy. I have seen a couple just disintegrate..
