Just a wee note really.

I've been looking for wheels for my S2 (k-series) for a while now, and have finally decided (because Mrs Al likes them) to go for black exige wheels (with spacers at the back) - but i thought i'd share something i found out.

Team Dynamics will do you a set of Pro-race 1.2 wheels (look like the oz wheels) in 7x16 4x100pcd offset et31 front(all correct) and 7.5x17 4x100 et18 rear (all correct) for £475 - and that's just what my local shop (not particularly cheap) quoted. - they'd make them to order (they have the molds already) and delivery time would be 3-4 weeks.
THis is all what my loceal team dynamics dealer said when he got off the phone from them.

So - if anyone is interested you could potentially get a set of track wheels complete with new ao48s for £1000 if you haggled a bit. - i don't have exact figures, but from what i can gather from trawling the net, the pro-race 1.2 in the above sizes is slightly lighter than the OZ lotus wheels.

like i say, though, i'm going for exige wheels, purely for cosmetic reasons, and to keep the mrs happy.

hope someone finds themselves a bargain!!

I would make sure they know what the car fitment is RE: caliper clearnces etc, most wheel places just don't understant this and then look supprised when they just woun't fit.

That said, Rimstock (the parent) made some of the OEM wheels for Lotus, sho should know the score

Agree, I had the same thing with the Compomotive MO. Even at the correct offsets they could not guarantee front caliper clearance and I dont have the time or money to R&D so gave in and bought the Lotus Motorsport OZ wheels in the end.

PS there is a secondhand set on SELOC right now !
