mikeeech 271 Report post Posted September 19, 2014 I found a thread on the resto rides forum about a turbo charged lotus elite project and for those looking for a more convenient wheel option. In my opinion these are very cool. Pontiac trans am "turbo" wheels... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieCroker 342 Report post Posted September 19, 2014 They look great, come in 15" but the bolt pattern is all wrong. The guy that owned thay car had to knock out the old studs and redrill the hub to get them in. That car never got finished and is now somewhere in Holland or Belgium I believe.

The resto lost track somewhere. It started off well. I read all 35 pages to feel cheated when nothing came of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat grant 28 Report post Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) I read the first few pages "wow this lotus is cool" and the last few pages - "I don't like you all posting ideas about wheels" including destroying an elite wheel to "work out" that you can't turn it into a three piece wheel(???) then giving up and selling it..... That's 15 minutes of my llife i'll never get back...... Edited September 20, 2014 by mat grant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixi4uk 65 Report post Posted September 20, 2014 Totally agree. I thought he was really going places when he found the 'new' turbo engine in that wreak he bought. I spent a lot more than 15mins on the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeeech 271 Report post Posted September 20, 2014 took me longer than 15mins to read it all but tyre choices are becoming a little limited for the originals tyre dimensions. well worth reconfiguring the hubs in my opinion since they suit the car nicely.

Simon350S 189 1 Vehicles Report post Posted September 20, 2014 Those wheels are very very nice. A bit difficult to come by though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I rather liked the wheels he picked up with the scrap car he bought. I think it was the Eclat (maybe wrong there it is a while since I read the thread) In later pictures one odd one is seen on the right hand front of the blue car. They would clean up nice. He did say he had sold the set of four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
