Are those Work wheels on the Elise?

While we're posting, I recently had both cars end up at my office (just had a top-end rebuild done on the MR2 at a shop close to work). This is the first time I've had them next to one another for a size comparison being that I have a 1 car garage (the Toyota stays outside). The MR2 is lowered a little over an inch & is still a good bit taller. A shot from the worst camera phone in the world (Treo 700w):

Brian,

The wheels are Kodiaks (specializing in lightweight racing wheels), and they were custom-ordered in stock sizes and offsets by an LTer, who sold his Elise before they came in. I found them offered for sale a couple of years ago on the forum.

Seeing as we've had a Ford rally car, how about a Lotus one.......

My buddy had to take a picture of his Smart car next to mine and some "normal" cars.

Wow, I seriously hope that was taken on a parade lap! If not, who was running that event?

And then they think you're the fool/idiot for driving a little sports car paved public roads!

The first thing that came to mind there was a couple of orange cockatoo's in a mating dance! Love that Exige!

I need one these things for my garage. Can not stand having a 2 car garage which has the width of a 3 car garage, and parking one outside. Other than having the side walls torn down and losting cabinet and storage space.

Can you provide any recommendations and info.

Thanks,
KG
