That would be an engineering nightmare . A heavier flywheel, however, would increase inertia (only to a certain point,) allowing easier (more efficient) driving in hilly terrain, but a loss in fuel consumption if using for hypermiling (EOC). It is a trade off most people cannot afford. Stick with the stock flywheel and don't change to heavier or lighter. If you must change, heavier is the better choice.
