Pat, it would help to know what size it is, what you will be casting it out of, expected price, etc. nice looking flywheel even so!

Nice looking flywheel. If you want it to be heavy, you might consider using ZAMAC which is an alloy of about 88% zinc and 12% aluminum. I've made up my own alloy using zinc bars I found on ebay and some scrap aluminum. The alloy has about the same weight as cast iron, melts at around 900 deg F, and is very easy to machine.
