The main thing is check for ANY cracking, you dont want any cracking at all... If there's heat stress cracking, buy a new one.

For a new flywheel, you wont have any balance issues if it's a good one. Check for drill holes on the edge to see if it was balanced...

you should always match balance. If your old one is a known zero balance you will be ok with a new one if it is assured zero balance. Mine was out by 18 grams on the outside edge so I drilled my new one to match. 18 grams was 2 3/8 holes 1/4 deep BTW, so it is more than it sounds
