Does this look right to you? 1 Year, 7 Months ago  
I am thinking about a chrome rear pulley and found on online, but it looks like it was put on the grinder and the "spokes" were made round. He said most chrome shops grind them a little to make it easier to polish, but these look pretty thin. What says the Clinic? good for my '07?

Wow it looks good, but it does look like a lot of material was removed. Need a Mechanical Engineer to give an assessment on the integrity of what remains????

That looks like the earlier pulleys pre-2004. My 1999 looks just like that (just not chrome of course). So it will probably be for the wider belt.

The integrity is harmed the pulleys are made the cheapest way they can make them just like the wheels are. Look at some of the custom wheels and pulleys and you will see what I mean.
