Default Whipple supercharger pulley finish - opinions

Hi guys, those of you with Whipples or considering a Whipple. The supercharger pulley on them is black. Do you guys like that or would any of you like to see a pulley option in a different finish, like nickel finish or machined like our GT500 pulley here: http://www.steeda.com/products/gt500...ger_pulley.php

Give us your thoughts.....

Gus

Different looking pulleys would awesome I think. Get creative on that stuff not only finishes but how about shapes.

I like the black ones because I have the black crinkle finish blower, but I bet the polished guys might like them.

I like the pulley in my sig, but the 10psi pulley that came with my kit is all black.

I like the machined look...I have the polished whipple so anything other than black would work for me...

what about a billet pulley for the polished whipple. Reichard racing already makes them. friend of mine has one on his terminator, looks pretty nice.

but for the black whipple i like the black pulley w/ engraved lettering, like the one i got off my friends terminator, and maybe a different interior design inside the pulley.

I'm in the "strongly considering" Whipple camp (not quite Crew yet), but I do like the machined billet look (that Steeda GT500 pulley looks great).

BTW, what's the word on getting pulleys for more boost using the new Steeda belt drive? I'm looking for 16 psi. and I am also "strongly considering" this system (I track my car, so the more stable the belts through repeated wide RPM sweeps the better I'll feel). Let us know.

Best,
