Apparently, the Lotus wheels don't come with the Lotus Logo center caps:

Factory replacement price is said to be over $120 for a set of four. Anyone got a cheaper source? Anyone ever bought wheel caps? I can't find them anywhere and dread to think what Symbolic Parts Counter will want for them.

I don't know if you are going to find a much cheaper price than $30/each for a colored logo cap.

Cheapo silver non-color plastic caps for the Miata wheels are about $20/each. And that's for a Mazda, not a Lotus!

Check out these prices from HRE Wheels:
ETCHED ALUMINUM CENTER CAP - Standard HRE Logo $60.00
HRE COLOR LOGO DISK - HRE Logo in Red/White/Blue or Black/Silver $10.00
PLASTIC FLAT CENTER CAP - Blank $15.00
DOMED ALUMINUM CENTER CAP - Blank $40.00
CUSTOM ETCHED DOMED ALUMINUM CENTER CAP $60.00 and up
O.E.M. CAPS $75.00 and up
340 SERIES HEX CAP $60.00

Yikes, you're right!

Maybe it was $120 Each from Lotus. I'll ask around.

Thanks for the reference quotes. I'm just a cheap bastard.

I used Lotus roundels from the Esprit on my SSR wheels, FWIW.

I've checked on prices of a few parts from Lotus, and they've all been far more reasonable than I expected.

Bell & Colvill in the U.K. sells them for 9.83 pounds each. You'll have to inquire about shipping.

My stock wheels have them. If yours don't, you got ripped off.

Wheel center caps

Hi
You should have the center caps already fitted as standard on arrival on a new Elise.
but if you are after more, I would be able to get them for 5 pounds each + postage.

I bought one for about $25 bucks from my local dealer.

 

[Surferjer]

5 lbs each? I'd love to get four or five from you. I could Paypal you the money. Let me know!! I'd like to add these to my SSRs...

 

[toyopet]

you can get it from your dealer which sells for about 12 bucks. i got one cuz mine got lost the first time i drove it home.

See enclosed Lotus Elise (USA Spec) wheel centre.
This is the exact spec't centre that is on the Elise.

You could make a killing shipping parts to the U.S.!

Edit: In fact, I imagine someone would pay you to ship enough parts to build a whole car!

 

[RIK]

well if there is any parts that you guys require let me know and I'll check to see if its cheaper with postage.
