[Jibberingloon]

What are peoples preference be for aftermarket wheels for a S1 and S2:

a.) Design

b.) Size (16" and 17" Combo OR the 15" and 16" Combo)


As i have been looking around and cant seem to find ones that are nice.

What do most people have? just the standard ones?

Cheers

Has to be -



Speedline Corse Magnesiums, front 15 and rear 16.

[TIPPER]

Limited choice of aftermarket wheels that will fit the Elise.
At reasonable prices (say £500 for an S1) there are Compomotive MOs (five spoke jobs but heavy) and Team Dynamics 12 spoke jobs.
I've got black 340R delivery wheels which came from the South West Lotus Centre who usually have a good selection of wheels in stock. Alos look at Hanger 111, Eliseparts, Eliseshop etc.

You can get spacers from eliseparts so you cant fit other alloys.

[retrorider]

skyman what sizes are those wheels you have and do they go straight on ? know where i can get some ?

[Trixster]

Black wheels for the win!

[S Works]

Don't go larger on an S1 unless you know better than Lotus.

340R wheels are the cool-daddy. Compomotives heat up like mad and cook the hubs etc. IIRC.

Here are the details of the wheels -

They were fitted to the car when it was new in 2000 - the original purcahse invoices show them at £2,000 plus VAT.

Will S1 wheels fit a S2?

Are they different stud patterns

When did they change? (Something to do with Toyota Engine?

Whats is the ET and the PCD for S1 and S2 wheels?

I'd love some Dymag Magnesium alloys for my S1 ... Although they are very hard to come by and probably cost an absolute fortune!

[jamwill79]

TMR forged wheels are superb. Very, very strong and the lightest available. MSAR safety have pictures on their website.

They are also bloody expensive.

The PCDs between S1 and S2 are different (95.25 v. 100). See here.

Eliseparts do a converter to allow you to put S2 wheels on an S1 but I'm not sure how good/safe it is.

[Jibberingloon]

So are all S2 4x100 ?????

Or is it just the Toyota Engine S2 ????

I think victories or any similar 5 spokes suit the S1 nicely.

ALL S2s are 4x100, they changed over with the advent of the S2. Toyota-powered S2s are the same as RoverK S2s.

Not sure thats true as you need spacers to put Toyota wheels on a K series S2, its only the rear wheels though from memory.

The Toyota cars have a slightly different offset I believe... but the stud pattern is still identical

[S Works]

Yep, it's the offset that's different. Hence the need for 20mm spacers on the rear.
