No problem. Just stay tuned. VRUS sent 10 to the states. I do not think we will run out, but I have kept track of those interested from the strat, so we need to be fair and do first come first served.

Again, PLEASE make sure you have a reliable install. I am making no judgements. If you feel it is a DYI, then so be it. If you believe some kid with a wrench, then so be it as well. Mine will be installed at VRP or by an MB Tech near VRP. If anyone needs help finding a reputable shop, that is what these forums are for.

I will vehemently 2nd that recommendation. The only place to take your MB for modifying around here is CPT, bar none. Al (the owner) is just the man.

He is a Kleemann dealer but will install anything you want him to. He is going to be doing my car this winter as well.

Alrighty guys. the pulleys are hitting Cali in a few days. Looks like we have 15 coming. Please sign up and call out what color you'd like. Send outs and color choices will be first come first served (from showing interest here or emailing me). The final price has not been figured, since the customs cost is not in. I'm pretty sure VRUS had posted $1200ish. Whatever the final price, I have been promised that we will at least get a slight extra deal, being the first clients.

This is the lineup of people wanting to get the 178mm VRP pulleys being sent to VRP USA. There are 15 being sent at this time.

The numbers don't mean anything. They are so our vendor can see that we have enough of us to make it worth the deal. The critical thing is to get your colors in, so we don't end up with a wrestling match over at VRP.

beautiful that ROSSO 175mm outer ring
is it possible have it together with the quasi-stock black 165 mm... just for peace of mind ?

Anybody knows what happens when the civil black 165mm ring would be swapped with the rosso one ... should it loose its balancing and the whole pulley should be balanced again, and how ?
In other words: to what extent swapping a balanced outer ring affect new overall balancing of a formerly correctly balanced pulley ?

We havent made any smaller rings yet.. We will be ordering some smaller ones but we dont have them right now.

Everything is balanced because they designed this pulley from the ground up to have interchangeable outter rings without having to remove the inner portion from the crank.

Those of you below who wanted a pulley, please make sure you email me (if you havent already) and give me your paypal address so I can get the invoices out.

We can arrange local pickup, local pickup + install at our shop, or we can ship to you.

The best I can do for you guys right now is $1250 for Crank pulley + install tool + water pump pulley.

We can get belts & a crank bolt for you guys and pass those along at cost, but that is the bottom price..
