Assuming the new Exige wheels fit our fed Elise, who would buy them if they were made available to us through our dealerships. I don't mean making the wheels an option to order with your car but it would be a purchase after you received your car. Ya know what I mean?

Huggy,

While they do look very nice, I would really want to see them up close before I took my wallet out as I'm sure they won't be cheap.

Best Wishes,
Mitch

If they are lighter than LSS wheels as well, I will definitely consider them.

And here I am just hoping to be able to get an extra set of LSS wheels on the cheap after a year or so.

I really only care about weight, so if they weigh less than LSS but I doubt it.

 

[smoseley]

I don't doubt that they're at worst equal in weight to the LSS wheels. They'd look really good on Yellow or CO, but I think that if I'm gonna get the Red, I'll stick with silver wheels.

 

[babak]

One thing to consider is how they would behave on a non LSS suspension and their effect on understeer.

 

[MikeAR303]

I'll definitely do whatever I can to get my hands on a set provided they weigh the same as or less than the LSS wheels.

If they're heavier, I'll pass.

I prefer the look of the standard silver wheels.

From what i have heard our Sport Pack wheels are the lightest wheels that Lotus will offer. These will actually be an option on the Exige as well. The black wheels on the autoshow Exiges are the Exige standard wheels and are heavier than the US Sport Pack wheels.

Robert,

Yes the wheels are the same size and offset as the US car sportspak wheel seen in LA.

The sportspak wheel will be offered as an option on the Exige at extra cost. The US sportspak wheels are the top of the range Lotus wheel now. The wheels pictured on the Exige are the standard wheels.
