Default My Toda flywheel? Does it look ok?

I recently purchased a "like new" Toda flywheel and I'm not sure of the condition. The teeth look like they have a little wear on the outer edge and the flywheel itself does not say Toda anywhere on it. It is 9 lbs though! Does this look ok to you? Is it a "real" Toda flywheel? It's just that I never saw a Toda flywheel in person, so I'm not sure what to look for.

Looks good to me. If it's a fake Toda it's a dam good looking one. Here's a pic for reference:

No. that is just some clear coat drips on the metal. There are little scratches here and there, but no cracks!

the teeth are suposed to look like that. Im not a 100% but if you get a toda and a ZEX flywheel and put them side by side the look identicl so i think they are made by the same place. We looked at the toda and zex side by side for like 2 hrs and we where like what the f#@k! Whatever it is it looks good throw it on.

BTW thay don't have any markings on them

The flywheel is fine! What you are seeing is the chamfer to assist in the starter drive engagement!
