jbs 37 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I have the option of either choosing the CUP240R wheels or the 7-twin-spoke wheels. Which should I get ? I will probably never run slicks on the car. Are the 7-twins lighter than the wider CUP wheels ? also, which ones look better on a black 211? Thanks for any help!

stephanie plum 1 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Personally I prefer the look of the Cup wheels. And they're easier to clean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pgn340r 22 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Agree with Jo. The very latest 7 spoke ones are a few grams lighter but the same size as the Cup wheels. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbs 37 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks for your replies guys. I used to have the CUP wheels on my Elise and the 211 comes with the 7-twins. If I take the CUP wheels, then the dealer will swap the wheels on both cars. So would you still take the CUP wheels knowing that a) they are not new, have been used for 10k miles (though in good shape) b) are heavier than the 7-twins and the newer CUP wheels Since I had them on my previous Elise, I might be wanting a different look now...but I'm afraid of eventually regretting my choice shortly after!

pgn340r 22 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yes I agree the 7 spoke wheels make the car look a bit fey. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
