I am new to this forum and am sure what I am about to ask has been discussed before. My car is an '05 Elise which I would like to take to an occasional track day. I am not a serious race guy but only looking for a fun day. I would like to have an extra set of wheels and fit stickier tires. Any recommendations for wheels that will not break the bank? I looked at Sector 111 wheels but my occasional use can't justify the approx.
$3K outlay.

You can get Rotas for abut $600-$700 for all four. Watch the parts market section there has been a couple of set for sale there recently.

Get a set of Rota's. Go 15"/16" to save a bit on tire prices.

 

[skibum]

I think everyone will agree that 15/16" Rota Slipstreams are the way to go.

where's a good place to buy flat black Slipstreams or Torques though, besides the 'parts market'?

 

[tireshoppe]

I have the Team Dynamics for under $800 and can add Toyo's on so they're ready to bolt on the car.

i don't know, but dpm had some wheels and track tires for sale. not sure about price or if they're already sold, but you might want to pm him.

what about offset?

not sure if they carry lotus offset or pattern but they are pretty well known in the subi community and have great prices: WHEELDUDE.COM

yea they don't have Rotas for Lotus.. so that's the question then, who still sells Slipstreams or Torques for an Elise? I've been searching and searching. I know Blackwatch has gold, but I can't find anyone else that carries them..


:shrug:

jlbmotorsports.com seems to have good prices on rotas. if you were able to tell them the offsets you need, they could probably help out.
