Default Aftermarket pulleys

Does anyone know if any companys are researching or developing pulleys for our cars. I want to get an aftermarket crank pulley or maybe replace the AC and powersteering pulleys also. Also what are the pros and cons about changing the crank pulley?

Thanks in advance

I'm really looking to replace the crank pulley, if the others are available then i might replace those but i still was wondering about pros and cons of replacing them.

damn....talk about feeling stupid...ok guys sorry about that....I read in earlier threads that unorthodox was considering making some aftermarket pulleys for the car for about say 300+ dollar and was just wanting to know about it. Or if AEM was developing any. Maybe I should request this moved to under the hood......

from what i heard aftermarket aluminum crank pullies aren't the best things...if you look at the back of a factory honda crank pully there is a rubber compound to absorb crankshaft vibrations. I was told that if you replace this with a solid aluminum pulley... the crankshaft vibrations will stress out the main bearings. And the only way to avoid this is to Balance and Blueprint your bottom end with the new pulley. Again, this is just what I heard, it sounds convincing to me.
