Where can i buy a supercharger belt tensioner pulley?

I do not want to buy an entire pulley kit for $500.
I just need to replace the pulley on the supercharger belt tensioner.
OEM or aftermarket - i am open to both options.

Also, if anyone has replaced only the bearing inside the pulley, i am willing to go this route as well.

Thanks!

I bought this one for $236 just five weeks ago and don't need it, because I quickly learned it had recently been replaced on my newly-purchased car by the previous owner. If you like to work on a budget I'll can sell you mine if you wish to PM me with an offer. It has seen perhaps just 100 miles of use. The linked-to site also has a pulley from URO for $170, but I know with some products their reputation is dubious.

Is the pulley from the link you shared a direct fit for the SC tensioner?
I am asking because in the description it says "Idler Pulley" and it does look different than the stock one on the tensioner. Stock is smooth surface and this one on the picture is ribbed.

And i agree with you.... URO makes me nervous given some of the stories i read.

Thanks!
