Well, I have about 10k miles on an aluminum sprocket, with no signs of wear.
Most of my riding is highway though, so maybe that makes a difference.

Garrett's right! The best aluminum sprocket will never outlast a steel one.
I opted for a Sunstar Steel sprocket. Very inexpensive too. If you're
thinking about saving weight, I've said it before, using an aluminum
sprocket on a GTS is like throwing a deck chair off the Titanic. :^)

Hold up! I had one of these Vortex sprockets. It cost me $54 and only
lasted
6000 miles. These are aluminum sprockets and they look real nice but good
steel sprocket will last as long or longer then the chain. Imho they are a
waist of hard earned cash.
