Hey yall, decided it was time for some new sprockets. Keeping it 13 in the front and 47 in the rear. I’m currently changing out the front and I went with a vortex instead of OEM. Revzilla said it would fit the wr and the teeth and splines look the same. However the OEM sprocket is much wider, a bit heavier, and has rubber pieces on each side that the vortex does not. This has me worried that the vortex will not fit properly and cause issues. What do yall think? Have yall swapped a front sprocket out on your wrs that looked much different but worked just fine? I’m hesitant to put it on now because it looks so much different

Ordered a vortex 13 tooth front and a vortex 47 tooth rear. As well as a 112 link D.I.D x ring chain. Everything is 520 pitch and is supposed to fit the wr. However I have recently read in a few places people having issues with aftermarket front sprockets and recommend running only OEM fronts. Does anyone have any advice on this? Should I be fine or just wait and order an OEM? Also what should I expect from the gearing change? The current gearing set up is the stock 13-43. My goal was to add more torque and be better on the trails but still be able to cruise at highway speeds. Any input would be appreciated!
