Love the RAC's ..... very light, strong and look great on the 2Eleven. Edited March 9, 2009 by Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgn340r Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Was at the Lotus Sport Open Day at Hethel on Saturday, Lotus Sport are just about to release a new lightweight set of wheels that are approximately 1kg per corner lighter than their current lightest. The beauty is that you can customise the wheel to any colour combo you like. Prices to be announced by will be around the price of the current Sport 5 spoke wheel ( Not sure, but would assume any colour other than black will cost more).

Guest Jack Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Could they be these ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgn340r Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Jack, No, even lighter than those. In a 5 spoke design similar in style to the 2 eleven ones. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alatif Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Evening All, Russ at Lotus Sport kindly sent me some images of the new wheel as I was unable to attend on Sat. There is some light machining to be done so this is not exactly the wheel, however it will only be very slightly changed. As with the 211 the wheel can be had in any number of colour combinations to match the cars & in a variety of finishes i.e matt, gloss etc. I particularly like the decal. If anyone wants more info then ring Russ on 01953608507 Regards Amer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Adams Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Yep, these are the new wheels we have been playing with. The finished items will be even lighter with additional machining in the hub region to get more weight out, they are the lightest () wheels we have ever offered for the Elise/Exige/2-Eleven and don't forget these are the wider front to suit slicks as well as road tyres. We have some testing to complete and some FEA work to prove out the strength before we release them for sale, but if you like them let Russel know as it will help us with the batch sizes.

Guest Jack Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) How heavy are the forged 7-twin-spoke wheels ? The Lotus "LSS" 7-twin-spoke, forged wheels weigh in at: Front: 6.06 kgs (6.5x16"); Rear: 7.32 kgs (7.5 x17") ... these are a 1/2" narrower than the new Lotus wheels, which are 7" and 8" wide, front and rear, respectively. RACs are 5.22 kgs and 6.09 kgs (7" and 8" wide) Edited August 11, 2009 by Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
