I've never used anything but aluminum motor pulleys, but I have used cast resin plastic wheel pulleys with great success. They have all held up nicely.

I only use steel motor pulleys. Alum will eventually wear down.

Alum for the wheel pulley.

When you think about it each tooth on the motor pulley gets 2.5-3 times more friction with the belt vs the teeth on the wheel pulley. So if they are both alum the motor pulley would wear out much faster.

Don't see any steel 8mm bore wheels that are 5mm htd, 9mm wide

I'm looking for a 15 tooth
