You wont have to get the flywheel replaced unless it is damaged, so you won't really know until you get in there to replace it.

But since it will be already taken apart, why not replace it with a lighter flywheel?

Looks good. Notice that the friction surface and springs are similar to the OEM design. Should perform similar to the OEM clutch.
