I have a set of the silver Euro Exige wheels...the 'Y' 18 spoke wheels that I'd trade for a set of black LSS wheels (or for a set of the same Euro Exige wheels in black, for that matter).

These wheels are heavier than the LSS wheels, by a fair amount, but lighter by a moderate amount than the standard Elise wheels.

So if you're looking for all out performance and tenths of seconds, then stick with the LSS of course. If you want a good, attractive wheel with a nominal performance penalty (really no penalty if all you're doing is street driving), consider the silver Euro Exige wheels.

Funny thing is, even with their weight, they were the performance wheels chosen by Lotus for the Elise GT1 race car (green in these pix):
