they have different color options and seem like a good seller.

They are cheaper @ Ca-cycleworks and they are a sponsor 

also, all you need is a $20 DID Clone tool to repalce the chain. perhaps now would be a good time to spend $30 on a decent set of sprockets and wrench. You would also need a grinder to remove the head of one of the pins. You can get away with a dremel, an angle grinder, or even a set of hand files if you didnt have any of those lying around. Honestly as long as you break the chain somehow, even if it is a sawall, your golden.

just use your grinder and grind a link off to remover the chain ..  To reinstall (unless its a rivet type you might want that tool)   i just took the flat parts of the links apart (2) and Cclamped the space to desired depth to put the clip on.

I highly recommend a steel rear sprocket and a very high quality chain, I like DID.  I use a stealth rear, and the steels last at least 3 times longer than the aluminums.  Someone just came out with a stainless one that they claim 6 times the life, but I haven't tried one yet.

I can't argue that steel will wear longer than Alu - but with proper maintenance an aluminum sprocket can last a long time.  I've got an anozized (not hard ano mind you) aluminum one, that's got going on 11K that i've put on it, and a bit before I came to own the bike.  I've used that Dupont teflon wax spray as my chain lube with regualr cleanings and re lube and I was shocked to see how little wear that Aluminum sprocket was showing.  I was all ready to bin it on spec this winter, but when I pulled the wheel and looked closely, there no good reason to, yet.

Of course, I keep my chain clean, and use the Dupont goop every 400 ish when possible - so I'm taking time doing that.  IF you want a lower maintenance cycle then steels are the way to go.

Though those Stealth sprox are pretty flash, and a good compromise between weight and wear resistance.  I just wish that made them with some other color in the center besides gold.

what are the stock sprockets made of? im still running stock chain and front/rear sprocket at 12k. very little wear, ive only cleaned my chain about 15 times in my entire ownership.

Stock sprockets are steel.

Mine are more orange than gold, they  look a little cheesy, the one on my S4 and the one on my YZ450F, both the same off/gold color, but they sure are lasting and they were $80 each.
