Ordered and received a 215mm flywheel from AA Performance (kokoparts) appeared well made but checked and found the flywheel bolt holes were rather crudely drilled and their deburring of the holes left a bit to be desired,raised edges which would have an impact on how it mates to the flywheel,easy enough to clean up but (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) .
Kinda normal for Chinese stuff ,no attention to final detail,didn't see any balancing marks....not sure about that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . Overall not a bad part and @ 159 notes pretty good ,for folks that don't know what they are buying may have a bad experience however.  |

What expressions come to mind?
1) You get what you pay for.... 2) No such thing as a free lunch. Just no way you're going to get a brand new high quality flywheel for $159. |
