Default Wicked-Industries flywheel

I haven't noticed much talk on the Wicked Flywheel...so I purchased one...195 shipped isnt bad at all and I will be swapping out my OEM ITR flywheel for it...8.5#s...I will get back to everyone on what my actual flywheel looks like and how well it preforms...here is the one they show

Its probably just some company putting there name on some one elses product because that looks just like a fidanza.
I know a few people with fidanza's and they are very happy with them.

Fidanza website. http://www.aluminumflywheels.com/flywheels.html
There is some info there that may be interesting to read.

Fidanza manufactures many of the flywheels that are on the market, including Comptech, clutchmasters and Spec. I would think that Wicked is getting theirs from Fidanza as well.

I sorta figure that, not that I'm complaining but I feel for those who try to make a living where you can get the same product cheaper somewhere else (if you find the source) , sorta like cam gears and cams lately.


This market is very interesting

Basically manufactures make a certain product. then sell same or diffrent spec to other companies who could do the volume. the company that markets the product best regardless of price usually end up on top. look what happened to Dellorto carbs. bad marketing but as good or better than webers went downhill. imo

I think it's the SFI approval sticker. Those letters on the left of it look like sfi.

The last words are "certifies that this product meets". I can't make out the rest.

I think the question should be wether or not the Wicked Industries flywheel is SFI approved. If not, a lesser price could easily be outweighed by the safety factor.

you might want to check your weight when you get it just for the hell of it.
