Cup 255 Alloys - Photoshop Masters!

[Ikemi]

Whilst waiting for one of the servers at work to complete a restoration of deleted data, I've been trolling through the PH classifieds, daydreaming of one day owning an Exige. However whilst browsing I noticed a Motorsport Cup 255 for sale, which imho looks the badger's nadgers! But I was more taken by the 5-spoke alloys. Are they available to purchase separately from Lotus or a dealership?

Would it be possible for some Photoshop master to paste these alloys onto a silver Elise S1 just so I can see what they would look like?

... Or is it heresy that for a mear second I thought about replacing the standard alloys?





Cheers!

They are 240R wheels, available from Lotus Sport for a price....

Have you seen this one in the classifieds?

Haven't they got the wrong PCD for S1's? Think they are only for 'yota engined cars so you need spacers to make them fit????

This one happens to be at Bell and Colvill at the moment too....

£40k but absolutely gorgeous.

Am I the only one who doesn't like those wheels? I think standard Exige wheels look far better. Okay, they are lighter and that will make a bit of difference but if that's what you're after you could always just chuck the passenger seat and strip the interior.

Cheers for that PTP170 I'm not entirely sure they suit the S1 as much as I thought they would, especially I imagine they are a small fortune from Lotus Sport. I think I'll keep the original alloys on for the time being and look to upgrade elsewhere ... My S2 suspension is already on order

personally i prefer them to the std wheels.

Wrong offset for an S1 - you can bodge it with spacers etc. but not a good look imho.

I think they look awesome, whereas the standard elise wheels and twin 5 spokes are merely ok.

Ripping the interior's not really the same as saving a few unsprung kg in the wheels though. Says the Victory shod 160 driver
