Low mass lightweight pulleys let your engine rev up faster with less effort.The theory behind lightweight pulleys is simple: less mass means a lower moment of inertia, for nimble throttle response and fast revs. Don't let their light weight fool you. These are tough customers, black anodized for good looks, corrosion resistance, and added durability. They bolt in place with stock fasteners, and their outside diameter is identical to that of the original equipment pulley, so you can use your stock length serpentine belt. Buy them for function. Because they look great. Or both!
