Underdrive pulleys

After my OBX underdrive pulley broke last night i am wondering what the best option is and where to get it. They may warranty it but i dont want to have it happen again im lucky it didnt take anything else out when it broke.
I seen heeltoe has the stock diameter ones but i like the underdrive and the underdrive one they have says its for 2nd gen j series.

I thought UR makes both stock size and underdrive. They are much more $ though. There's also Ralco who I'm pretty sure makes both sizes.

Maybe they used to and not anymore alll i can find is for newer J with the single port exhaust.

I found this though

I like how its one chunk no spokes.
​​​​​​the OBX had 4 very undersized spokes holding it together.

How much could the aluminum cut out there even weigh lol?

Maybe not much, but that's the entire point of the pulley, to reduce weight. I would be more worried about manufacturing quality than the reduced strength of aluminum pulleys with spokes tbh. An awful lot of wheels, some stock some aftermarket, endure forces more powerful than most can even imagine, despite having like five tiny spokes to minimize weight. And this coming from OBX doesnt surprise me. Back when I drove a DA integra I bought an OBX exhaust, which was several inches shorter than it should be because they never bothered to account for the chassis length difference between the sedan and hatch.

Man I remember putting a UR pulley on my 7th gen Accord. Felt like the difference when you are driving around with several adults in your car, and then after they all get out. I honestly think they are the best bang for the $, even higher than CAIs.

Just an update i bought the cosmo racing one and installed.
I am very happy with it and nothing bad to say about it. being a solid chunk of aluminum i am confident this one will last forever, And it was the same size as OBX one so i got to re use the one belt that didnt get shredded.
