You can buy powder metallurgy HTD pulleys from McMaster Carr. Make rings on the lathe (oh, yeah, this is FOR you lathe, isn't it?) and chuck up the pulley. Bore the ID, turn off the hub if not needed, etc. to make up whatever you need. I've done this on some of my machine projects, with excellent results.
If you want to keep the flanges, then make the rings so the ID fits the OD of the pulley, and the width of the ring fits down between the flanges. Split the ring with a hacksaw, slap the two ring sections onto the pulley and place in the lathe chuck. This will allow you to hold the pulley by the only surface that matters, the OD of the pulley, and bore the ID concentric to that.
