Hi Guys

Finally got my new wheels and tires mounted on my Lotus Europa. They are 13 inch Minilites with Toyo R888's
They are replacing some old slot mags that are not my style at all.

Before:


After:







Hope you like

Fantastic garage. What a collection. What year is that YZ in the background. Looks similar to an old 83 model I had but it has upside down forks. I'm guessing its around 87?

If i'm honest I prefer the first set of wheels with the yellow detailing. But its a stunning car. I once saw one of these in cardiff with the back wheel on the other side of the road with hub and buts still attached.

Yep, that garage looks great. What is the red car to left of the Spitfire in 2nd pic?
Wheels looks good but I did also like the detailed slot mags

Looks like an Alfa 155 doesnt it? In some kind of touring car trim.

I don't think that the other wheels looked too bad, but think the replacements are better. Why not go for Lotus alloys?

Sorry to buck the trend... but I much prefer the other ones.. these look too small.

Sorry... all IMO though!
