Popular Post Kristof Thys 200 Posted July 4, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Just like @BatMobile but on my V6S and slightly lower offsets - BC Forged RZ05. I have black/silver LOTUS emblems on them now but yet to take a good picture. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But on my cup r there were some spacers fitted for clearance at the rear and without them the wheel was almost touching inside and I did not understood what was the difference. I knew there were some different than standard ohlins springs fitted with slightly bigger outer diameter but the wheels I could try to fit (exige cup 380 10x18 ET32 with 285 tyres) were also very close to the top mount To make it short I think that the larger tyre (on the pictures of the bronze wheels is a 280 large slick tyre) the camber settings and the slightly bigger springs made it a very tight fit so I decided to go for 8x17 ET24 front and 10x18 ET30 rear That way it will fit the car no problem as it is and I can if wanted change the top mounts bolted to the chassis for the cup 380 ones that give more clearance and fit the standard eibach springs or even fit a thin shim to the wheel as lotus did on the 380 cup. But still If I want them fitted to another exige v6 or as they are they are just 2mm more flush than the oem 380 cup ones that is not much. I tried the rear wheels with shims to get ET26 (similar to the rays ones in the pictures of the blue 380 cup that are ET25) but even if they can still fit ok I think they start to be visually a bit too much wide and would look right only in a really really lowered car. Did you weight them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kristof Thys 200 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Damn, yet another Exige with RZ05's 😁😁 j/k looking ace @Arun_D; like what you did with the centre drop. I was in doubt on mine, but I really really like how it works on your car! Looking great! PS: if you ever need Lotus emblems that fit over the BC ones, drop me a line (got mine on ebay, but took a few attempts to get right) @Arun_D looking at your pics: did you replace the valve stem cap with a black one? Or do BC now offer to have a black valve stem? (mine are RVS and want black)? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or do BC now offer to have a black valve stem? (mine are RVS and want black)? I agonised for a long time trying to settle on colour choice (this was back in June when I originally ordered them!). You don't want to see my research! As Brushed Dark Black is a clear tint, it looks different in varying light (which I love) but it made it difficult to gauge true appearance on photos as it can look quite grey in bright light. I needn't have bothered as it suits the car perfectly, despite everything being satin black. I had the standard steel valves and BC branded metal hex cap changed out during tyre fitting, as I can't stand 'bling'. Short rubber valves and black plastic caps are all I need.

Gordon S 244 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 No, that’s for a full set, and is also before you ask what sort of deals are available. Just need to speak to the right person at Signature. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Theres also a 430 getting these lovely BC rims sometime soon... unsure if owner is on here though... Has anyone verified if this actually allows wider tire with a coilover say ohlins ttx?

DangerousDave 4 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Going 225/45/17 and 285/30/18 would allow me to run the good year supercar tire..... What does it take to go 225 in the front? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
