Diablos-666 Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 I’ve seen a set of OEM forged wheels for sale, I was just wondering if the word “forged” should be stamped on them or not. The ones I’ve seen don’t have it. Will these wheels fit a standard Exige V6s or will I require spacers? Seriously Lotus sell these but the website mentions he’s are wider so don’t require spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arun_D Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 The do not say 'forged'. Depending on which model they came from, the rears may have a bonded spacer to effect a 3mm offset difference, for 285mm width tyre fitment, but they will fit.

R300XXX Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 They’ve been for sale quite a while. I don’t think the factory ones came in gloss black so assume they have been powder coated at some pointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diablos-666 Posted April 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 If I buy them then I’ll get them repainted as I’m not keen on the gloss black. Ive offered just under £2k for them as it’ll cost about £400 to get them painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diablos-666 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 I bought them for £1,800 in the end. The guy was selling them via Silverstone Lotus. The tyres still have plenty of tread left too so not a bad price really. I’m not keen on the colour though so will be dropping them off an Lepson’s to get repainted. Will I need longer wheel bolts, it’s something the lotus sales guy mentioned to me, although he wasn’t sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
