I bought this off ebay a while back for 200 buckaroos, I've had it for a while and I'd like out figure out who made it. I've looked around at lightened flywheels, and haven't found anything that looks like it.
I bought it before I figured out that the car performs fine already and I've largely decided to leave the car alone. I'm going to put itback on ebay but I'd like to know a bit more about it.
It has a tiny 'winged' tire stamped into it, and that's about it.
I'm using a linux based machine here at work so I'll have fun figuring out how to get a photo uploaded.
ps; I think the guy who sold it to me is a member here on the forum! he went to a dinan upgrade and the original lightened flywheel (this one) is not capable of handling the greater stress, so he ditched it after 4000 miles, he says. could it be a Dinan unit?

It's a pro built item, for sure. I've looked at everyone's different flywheels, and haven't found a perfect match yet. The 'winged tire' stamped into it is the big giveaway as to it's origins..but I can't seem to find out who uses the logo. I've not found any picures of a Dinan flywheel yet, so it's till on the list. maybe somene can remove my ignorance of that.
The seller did get back to me as of yesterday. He is a forum member and even tried to have a few of the forum members help him figure it out at an earlier date. So far, it's all guesses.
