I think its fine, steel just rusts not much you can do about it. When your clutch starts engaging on that sucker it will keep that portion clean,
My last billet flywheel looked similar to yours and is working ok.

It's just like brake rotors. When they're not in use for a while, even a short while, they rust and look like ****. But once they get used, even just a 2-second tap on the brakes, the rust is gone and they look perfect. Like these guys have said, it's normal and nothing to worry about it.

Nothing to worry about. I would be worried about leaving that wd-40 on there though. No need to lube up something you want to grip. Use some brake cleaner on there if you already haven't.
