Ok....Grippy....
So, I'll flat out ask the question that everone has kinda wondered.....
Where did you find them, and what are they originally intended for? So ,basically how can I buy them with you doing all the footwork for me.....Sorry just the truth.......
Actually, me and Cory looked everywhere for them already to no avail, or I would not ask

they come in 100mm and 90mm, I got the 100mm ones.
they have the same rear indexing and bearing series (6207) as the stock Radix pulleys (Dayco makes the plastic/metal ones). Now, since they are made for a Cobra's 8rib setup the pulleys will stick out some past the belt. That doesn't bother me though, because I think it looks cool, and I may go to an 8rib pulley arrangement one day anyway. You could have the face machined down, if you so chose.
The only thing you need to do to the left idler pulley is re-use the spacer used in conjunction with the plastic pulley(the lipped one) and bolt her up, clearance is tight on the outer back edge of the pulley and the Radix bracket, but there seems to be enough room to allow for metal expansion (obviously, tolerances permitting). On the right side, the only extra step, is, you'll need to machine another spacer to the exact spec of the left idler pulley spacer, the OD on the stock metal pulley spacer is to large to fit the ID of the pulley (I suppose you could turn that one down instead of making a new one though).
So far all is well, but if you decide to do this, you play at your own risk

LOL, looks like I forgot to post the link
fwiw, this company was the only pulley company willing to go through the process of reviewing my pictures and measurements to assess whether they might work or not.
remember, play at your own risk

if you want the smaller idler pulley to compensate for the larger pulleys look here:
