 A company named Fidanza used to make aluminum flywheels for Lotus Espirits that would be suitable for our cars, but I don't think they have inventoried them for quite a while. They would have the drawings, though so it maight be cheaper to order through them versus a pure custom.

In my experience it can be tough to get a machine shop to shave the stock wheel due to liability concerns. Most aren't interested, and those that will consider it want you to provide detailed drawings.

I sure wouldn't mind if my car would build revs faster and a lighter flywheel would help quite a bit. About halfway between the stock and a 7lb. Tilton would be very interesting to me. Let us know if you find something.
