Had a set fitted to mine, nice to look at as colour matches car, but not sure if they made a any difference to the car, mine were cheaper than that fitted from Zen Performance.

Its just someat else for lowering rotational mass thats all. I had them in my head after i had my lightweight Kaiten flywheel fitted. I noticed no difference at all having done the pulleys, but after the flywheel was done, then yes big difference there.
I too had the RCMS ones in blue fitted. Look mint, do they do owt? I dont know, i cant notice

I can see the point if your after a 500-600bhp track car or quarter miler.
But for 99% of owners on here, not worth it.

Save your cash.

I gather it has no real effect. I'm going to do it anyway at the next service for pretty much the same reason though: it looks pretty...
