S2 Exige Wheels on non 111R/Exige hubs

[S Works]

I'm considering getting a 2nd set of wheels for winter (long way off I know, but pays to consider these things early) and would like a set of S2 Exige wheels if I can find some.

How much are they and can you run them straight on the hubs used for OZ wheels? If it's not a straight swap then I guess it's a non-starter.

Different offsets on the rears (S2 OZ are ET18, S2 Exige is ET38), but you can use spacers. Someone on PH/SELOC has just done this so have a search ...

Do you have oz's ? Std sets are fairly cheap and available - as are 111s alloys....

Hopefully I will have a car with OZ wheels very soon, but I like the black Exige wheels BJ has on his. If it's only a set of spacers then that doesn't sound like too much of a bind. Something to consider going forwards.

My new Exige wheels are sitting in the garage.

Fiting to the K-engined elise is easy. - my spacers (20mm) havn't arrived yet (due any day now cos i ordered them just over a week ago) but only cost £43 from

they bolt onto your hubs with supplied bolts, then your standard elise bolts fix the new wheels to the spacer.

should all work fine! (that's what my extensive forum trawling has told me, but fingers crossed all the same!)

you need spacers for a Corsa B or Astra G. i.e. 4x100pcd, centre bore 56.6, bolts M12x1.5, even though the service manual says they're m12x1.75 they're NOT - I've checked the bolts! - which is a blessing cos that makes the spacers cheap!

On the other hand, if you fancy just a set of silver 6 spoke S2 wheels give me an e-mail, cos mine'll be for sale very very soon!

How much where the Exige ones?

Think they are forged and fairly expensive..... few 111R owners sell them off when parting with their cars though.


For winter wheels I'd just get a set of black std wheels.....I did !
