Hope you find what you're looking for.

Am I missing something? I am seeing 4 bolt patterns there on those wheels.

Would these work on your car?

Here is the U.S. dealer:
S & S Performance Motorsports Revolution Wheels Home Page
When I bought these wheels for another car, they painted the spokes to match your car's body color at no additional cost (different dealer back then).

and another one from Dave Bean Engineering:
Old Monthly Specials

Yep. I am pretty certain they would. Anyone else care to chime in on that??

Very nice.

Those are the stock 2002-04 Esprit wheels. They are OZ Nova.

Good luck finding some.

I have a brand new set of OZ Novas still in the original boxes, with the Lotus center caps. PM me if interested.

I recently (and finally) installed my Volk TE 37 wheels on my 2002 V8. They are gunmetal in color. Using hubcentric adapters which are 25mm thick the Volks I selected (which are available in many different offsets) provide the exact offset I needed. Fronts are 18 x 9 and rears are 19 x 10.5. Using Yokohama Advan sports, 225/40 x 18 front and 295/30 x19 rear. Gives the car a much more aggressive look and stance. Ride is actually better than the stock set up (Novas) and each wheel/tire weighs about 5 lbs less than stock! I have received many compliments regarding this set up.
I am considering the Dymag Carbon wheels but the cost is enourmous ($10k) I love the Volks but the Dymags are calling.
I can sell my Volk set up with the tires. They have less than 500 miles on them.
I am also selling my Nova's with the stock Dunlops. They have about 4k miles on them.
Anyone interested? PM me if so.

Would these pass a clean tech?

These wheels are PIMP on the Esprit:

Here's the front of Type 82's car

You can also catch a few glimpses of it in this video:

SweetDaddyD · 06-19-2008, 05:05 PM

When you get them, let me know. I have been making some totally PIMP custom wheel centers lately. Black and orange on my car. Takes the customization to a new level.

U da man!

Huskerbill · 07-11-2008, 11:36 PM

I am leaning toward the Saturns actually and am looking for the Lotus center caps. Hate the all silver look. Anyone know where I can get these??

E5PR1T · 07-12-2008, 03:24 AM

Best place would be JAE Parts.
