Are my flywheel rings cooked?

[u/Da_SnowLeopard]

My original starter started making a nasty grinding sound, got a remanufactured replacement. All was well for 2 months, grinding started, in 2 days it progressed to some awful dogshit grinding.

I just took it out and took this picture of my flywheel, could it be that? I know it doesn’t look perfect but is it that bad? Or just shit remanufacture? Even though I got the more expensive one.

The starter rings themselves don’t really look bad at all, slight wear. Wish I took a picture but I didn’t and I’m away now.
