Default Not too light flywheel

Been looking around for 14lb flywheels for the d-series and can't seem to find anything above 10lbs. Is there a place that sells these flywheels or is 10lb under flywheels only?

is there a reason why you want a 14lbs flywheel??? my 9lbs fidanza flywheel was perfect and i also daily drove it...but i never really heard of a 14lbs flywheel only if you get it lightened but not to many place will do that now... i've seen a shop on e-bay that is selling resurface lighten flywheel, i'm sure if you contact them and send yours in they can resurface it to your liking..

I'd also like to know out of curiosity. How did you decide on 14 pounds?

I've been reading a lot of threads about lighten flywheels etc. Some people say light flywheels are great for boost and some people say light flywheels aren't too great for boost. I also don't like how the revs fall too fast etc that you would get with a light 8lb flywheel. So I figured that instead of keeping the stock weight flywheel or getting a flywheel that is too light for my liking. I would just get one that is right in the middle.

I know a lot of people would say what kind of logic is that, but I figured having a flywheel that can give me a little of both worlds is better then none. That's why I choose around a 14lb flywheel.

I can understand that. I have heard that 12lb is a good compromise between momentum and mass, but I don't have any first-hand experience. However, that is a more common weight, and you may have more luck finding one. I'm sure if you search a little, you can find a lot of threads.
