Default Choosing both chain and sprockets

Hi, i'm trying to choose sprockets for my f4i. Does anyone use these sprockets?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CBR90...ayphotohosting
They are 15 teeth drive and 48 driven. Arethey worth buying? If not, then give me some advice please.
Is it possible to do slow wheellies with this kit or i should find another ratio?
Thanks.

No reply, so what about vortex sprockets. - one in the front and 54 teeth in rear. Will it be possible to perform slow wheelies with it?

thrust company sprockets are good sprockets and so are vortex. the only thing I don't like is there aluminum so they don't last as long as a steel one check out these guys. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...9-0bd56da767d0

and d.i.d. and ek make good chains. DO NOT get an omega. omega+crap

Someone said Vortex were'nt hardened so they don't last as long. Driven sprockets get good reviews but I have only had Vortex and Geared Steel

Yeah, having read some infoconcerning sprockets, aluminium adn steel, i ordered thrust company stage 2 drive kit cause it gives maximum torque andonly about 5-10% loss in maximum speed with the stock-long chain and is made of geared steel while vortex are alluminium. Vortex are first of all positioned as racing low weight sprockets, and i agree that may not last long when stunting.

It's brake control man. You can roll pretty slow stock. Sprockets help with engine braking and torque.
