New wheel choices??

I just got the new edition of Sportscar and the Panasport ad mentioned that they were working on Elise fitments. I will look into that and report back if there is anything interesting on the horizon.

Unless somebody here already has info to add, of course.

I spoke with MAS at Panasport in CA, and the pricing for the FR7 style in the ad - If I understood him correctly, slight language barrier - is around $400.00 each. The Pricing for the Sparco style is to be set possibly tomorrow, and he said he would e-mail me with that info. He didn't give me weights on the FR7s, but the Sparco wheels are supposedly about 12# for the 16" and 14# for the 17s. bad news for SCCA events is that widths are 7" and 8" which if I remember correctly are wider by 1/2" than stock. Also, if I understood Mas correctly, there are two offsets available one of which would make spacers unnecessary when running Hoosiers.

I also spoke with Panasport about wheels for an ASP setup, 15" and 16", both FR7 style as well. Pricing was $342 per front and $435 per rear, $1,554 for a set. Delivery was more dependent on shipping than mfg. so that would indicate that they are already producing them. No word on wheel weights but I don't know that I'm concerned given the weight of current wheels they produce.

Pricing for a set of 15" all the way around would work out to roughly $1,368 with some variation possibly in front to rear widths.

Or a copy of the ad?

Is this the same wheels advertised with Blackwatch (i.e. FR-7)?
