Lotus Esprit Wheels Fikse | eBay

Hey there.
They are very nice.
Id love to purchase those at the price. Even more taunting is if it would be with the rubber.
What bothers me is the transaction from there to here.
Dammit!
Long distance purchases will give me an ulcer.
I would make an offer if it included the rubber though.
Some pain in the gut for that kind of deal would be worth it!

They do come with the tires

wheels probably arent very wide with those tire sizes. Great price either way. What width tires do the older esprits use?

Thanks for telling me that.
Sometimes speed reading courses are not what they seem.
Anyway,I made an an offer. I have not purchased from ebay in ages.
Doesnt appear that he will mail to Canada though.
Damn!
I did ask if the seller would of course.

They use quite the same, which is great.

Seller says he thinks they were for 1988. The rears do not look like the deep dish offset for the Citroen gearbox cars. Wheels look nice - just be careful they will fit your car. To me they look like 1989 or newer, for the Renault gearbox. Maybe just the pictures.

Can anyone confirm that these wheels will fit my 89 non-SE?
Also, would you please post a pic of your car if you have these wheels?
Thanks.

Wheel offsets are different from 88 to 89 in the US.

His measurements look pretty meaningless.. Since he's measuring from the tire.

You need to get real offset measurements and put those wheel widths in a calculator to see if they fit your 89, but I doubt it since they were made for an 88...

ThankYou.
His measurements confuses me.

That was my impression also.

Yes - and his wheels show considerably more negative offset in this picture
