My Fidenza flywheel weighs 11.5 lbs. A stock one weighs way more than that. :)

Lightweight flywheels arent made that way to save overall weight on your car. It all has to do with rotational mass... When they weigh less, they will spin up faster and give you better acceleration (not drastically but sufficiently). But, there is such thing as a too light-weight flywheel. If they are too lightweight, the engine will lose inertia (in between shifts when the clutch is engaged, the RPM's will drop a lot quicker which is no good) Anyways, stock ones weigh 15-18lbs. If you plan on getting one, dont go under 11 lbs or you will lose that precious inertia.
