It looks like this:
Would you be happy putting that back in a vehicle?

We get away with flywheels like this all the time on mail vans, but its always a difficult call on your own vehicle.

I would replace it or get it skimmed at a local rebuilders/engineering shop or is that not economical.

They only look to be minor surface cracks, it would not worry me at all and i have seen alot of flywheels.

i would use it! for two reasons, one i already have it so i don't have to pay for it and two i have no idea what it is/does so couldn't possibly know if it is a good one or not!!

Needs surface grinding, to get it back to flatness... else it might slip
a lathe tool wouldn't even graze it I doubt.
Oh, I hear that it slips a bit...
