Definitely needs to be rebuilt. Dont "sand" the flywheel, get it resurfaced at a machine shop. It looks to be glazed bretty good.

are the carbon discs themselves worn out as well, or just the hot spots on the metal surfaces the issue?

well i spoke to ats tech support and showed them the pics. they said more important is measuring for even wear on the carbon discs with a micrometer (should be more than 2mm thickness and even). in addition, to lay metal plates flat on a metal surface to check for warping. if these two areas are fine, then the hotspots are not significant.

Resurfacing a flywheel is like 50 dollars at a machine shop. Its definitely worth the peace of mind.

You need to check for warping of the drive plates (Metal plates). Check for the minimum thinkness for the driving plates (Carbon plates). Check Carbonetics site for the specs.
