For anybody considering repairing their OZ Futuras - The outer lips can be purchased alone but cost me $300 ea. The tools you need are another $125. If I had it to do over I would consider buying a used wheel or a set off Ebay.

Interesting... I've been thinking about new wheels for my 90 SE, not because I hate them but the tire choices in 15" are becoming very limited.

Right now Toyo does make the T1R in 215/45 15 and 245/45 16, but that's about it. When those wear out, which shouldn't be too long from now, time to get new wheels.

I have 17 inch Speedline "SpeedForce" wheels. I like the look of them, classic, and timeless..... Some dude once told me that these wheels were dated and needed to get "new" rims like the Subaru cars have.... Sheesh..... Trendy Today, ugly tomorrow...........

Lotus_cz,

for my part i can help you.
My Esprit is the yellow V8 in shadeone`s post.
Billet SLG20, 18x10 with offset -5 at the back and
17x9 with offset -5 at the front.

But actually i have changed the wheels on my car back to Futuras.
Stock dimensions apart with 15mm spacers at both axles.
