no exactly numbers here, but the stock flywheel is a little over 14lbs and the spoon/toda/comptech flywheels are approximately 8.4lbs-8.6lbs a piece. I've sold a lot of the comptech flywheels in the last few weeks because of the price - they are much cheaper (by ~$70) and i can get them immediately to you. Send me a PM or give me a ring if you are interested in any of them or have any questions related to the flywheels.

My TODA flywheel weighs 8.4lbs which I think is the lightest on the market. That thing looks too good to install! makes you wanna mount it on the wall or something very high quality piece http://www.todaracing.com/S2000.html

I think they're all pretty even in weight, but I am partial towards the Spoon flywheel. That's what I'll probably get. Comptech though is most likely the best for your dollar.

I have bought the comptech one and when i have bring it to have it balance, the guy couldn't beleave is eyes how a piece of art it was !!! Telling me he saw a lot of car pieces ( it's a car modification specialyse place ) and he told me that this piece has been made with an extraordinary precision and it must be very close to the perfect balance but he have checked it and he was right cuz he took off only 1.5 grams. Hey that's cool !!!

I just have to say, that weight isnt the most important number, but its where the weight is. I have had the Toda in and out, great peice and I beleive it has the lowest moment. Which means it may weigh the same but can spin faster. Just look at the design, with the holes around the edge, so more of its weight is in the center than the other flywheels.

That's a very good point, thank you.
