Talking Fly Wheel Group Buy

I am putting up a group buy for fly wheels

WE can do the MS FLY Wheel
My Price without a group buy is $499.99
RX-8 Mazdaspeed. Manual Trans Light Weight Flywheel. 6.92kg
Group Buy Price 5 or more: $489.00


Or WE can do the new UR Fly Wheel My Price without a group buy is $530.00.
Group Buy Price 5 or more $515.00
seen here: Aluminum Flywheel (w/integrated counterweight, hardware, and hub) (12.5 lbs.)

http://www.unorthodoxracing.com/ultral.html

I am leaning toward the UR unit.
I need to get 10 buyers to make this happen.
I belive i can get an even better price on the UR FlyWheel.

So I am the first one , Who else is in..
UR or MS ?

Still checking.. what do youlike about One over the other..

I like the UR because of this :

Mazda RX-8 Ultra L Flywheel
Unorthodox Racing is now taking pre-orders on the 2004-2005 Mazda RX-8 flywheel. The part number for the flywheel is 060801800. This flywheel has the counterweight incorporated into the unit and includes the mounting hardware so that you do not have to purchase the counterweight and bolts separately.



Ferritic Nitrocarburized Inserts
(Heat Shields)

We get a lot of questions about our new "black" inserts. What are they anyway? Well, they are still made of steel, but they utilize a unique ferritic nitrocarburizing process that hardens the steel to protect it against aggressive ceramic clutches. The result? A surface more durable than a cast iron OEM or chrome-moly flywheel!. It also will not rust and is resistant to metallic friction materials seizing against the flywheel. This method has proven to work better than just using harder steel because it keeps the coefficient of friction high, which is what all clutches like! Harder steels (such as 1050) have a much lower coefficient of friction.

Standardized Sizing

All our inserts, also known as heat shields, are standardized sizes and are user replaceable. None of our heat shields are riveted. Another important factor is the way we machine them. All inserts are CNC-machined, providing a surface that is parallel to within .001"! As a result, extended periods of clutch break-in are not required.

Weights?

OK, so I'm really lazy....

Can someone post the weights of 'all-of-the-above'?

It seems to be the one critical spec.....

I like the UR, but I'll go for either if its a substantial discount. Can you let us know what pricing we're looking at w/group? PM if you can't post.
