The first thing is you need to know if you are running a non-LSS car or an LSS legal car.

If you are running a non-LSS car, your wheel options may be more limited. Perhaps someone can research the available choices? You can run ther stock non-LSS rims of course, and I think you can fit the 205 series tires on them.

For an LSS car, you have the stock LSS rims as one obvious choice. They are relatively light and would work well.

Another option is the SSRs from Sector 111. They are stock LSS legal and light. There are also the Kodiaks. We understand more lightweight rim options are coming in 1Q 05.

One suggestion is that you get rid of the locking lug from Lotus and buy 4 more stock lugs, or replace all the lugs. That locking lug and its adapter tool are a pain for changing wheels as often as we do. Some of the later built cars do not have the locking lug.
