Probably not the greatest idea ever... you wouldn't want to take off too much or you would weaken it too much.
You also wouldn't want to get it too far out of balance.

I have seen the result of a machined flywheel failing... it's not something you wanna mess around with!
Just remember, a cast flywheel has most of it's strength in the outer layer.. once you machine that off, the inner stuff is actually fairly weak.

If you want a light flywheel, get one made. There are a few places around that fabricate them, just send them your stocker and they'll make a new one to whatever specs you desire.

My 1uz one cost $460 with a new ring gear.
But that wasn't a one off.
And its billet steel, not billet aluminum.
