I want to get a spare set of wheels for the 2-11, these will be for my slicks. Genuine Lotus wheels are too expensive, and I was hoping to source something locally (NZ).
Does anybody in the forum have the correct offsets (in mm)?

I'd check the blown engine thread before splashing out on some slicks - has put me right off until lotus get the dry sump solution sorted.

The cheapest option for an additional set of rims would be to buy a s/h set of s2 exige wheels - down side on that is that they are much heavier the the 5 spoke forged rims and the fronts are 1/2" narrower than what you have on (6.5" appose 7").

www.hot-lap.com do a set of team dynamics that will fit and are the corect offsizes etc and also have the same 7" wide front rim I believe, light weight. nice design, pricey though like the 5 spokers!!

BTW Hello evryone..

They are light & strong..........forged & they aren't that expensive when compare to those oem.
They have special off set for S2 exige thus good for our 2-11 ;)

Go to volkracing's web site and check them out!
I got mine in special gold colour, it costed me around 1 thousand sterling pounds, it was delivered to hk though.
