Why does my AP1 flywheel weigh 17 lbs?

The back of the F20C2 MY'00.
Looking at all the flywheels its clear where the "fat" is on the F22 flywheel.

... you aren't in the US...
I want to see someone weigh a 02-03 US flywheel!
The flywheels posted by hybridspl sure look different.
The back looks like the F20, but the starterring is in a different position.
Its not all about the weight.
Btw.. isn't it funny people around the world measure their flywheels, start taking pics of flywheels (even on bathroom sinks next to the toothpaste!
), only because of a post on a forum.

Anyone listening in here have an AP2 with an AP1 flywheel? I've been thinking about doing this but always think that a lighter flywheel will make me lose some of my launch power... Heavier rotating mass = harder launch theory?

Alright, now I am really confused! My ring gear if flush with the friction side and has a chamfer that also faces the friction side. Exactly opposite of the first flywheel that SpitfireS posted, as if the ring gear was put on upside down (not surprising for an aftermarket part!)

Look at the differences with the IMG_1208.
More clear than in the first picture hybridspl posted, with all the rust.
The flywheel in question is IMO not an OEM F20/F22 flywheel.
In any way.
(doesn't make it bad, I mean, the engine ran ok with it.. right?)

After looking again, I have lots of AP1 and AP2 flywheels. The flywheel in the original picture does not look like either of them. It seems there is a third part number, or aftermarket flywheel.
