Does anyone know where I can get these wheels from and how much they will cost? Is my only option getting them from Lotus direct? And how much weight will they save over standard exige wheels? Thanks

They are about �1600 per set from lotus
I would like a set to if you can find them cheaper elsewhere
Maybe PLans ??
Jamie had a set on His
The Look fantastic
They may be heavier but personally I think the standard Exige wheels look far better. Each to their own!

Its very hard to improve on the std Exige wheel. I have never seen a wheel which suits the car better.
Their weight and width are not ideal though…The 240R and Cup wheel shown at the start of the thread are a good wheel though. Light and a bit wider.
They look like black SSRs. Does anyone know if they are?
Still not as light as the Lotus forged LSS wheels

I like those too. How do you know they are lighter? And will they be around �1600 from Lotus again?
Standard exige weigh 37.2 kgs a set
240r wheels 28.4 kgs a set
lSS wheels 26kgs a set
Thankyou, thats a nice weight saving then if i got the LSS wheels. 11.2 kg total and its unsprung mass too
is a lotus dealer really the cheapest place to get them from then?>
Ask Junks about LSS wheels he always seems to get hold of a set. I paid �1250 with tyres a set.
Bell and colville have a offer on the LSS Wheels also atm.
240R wheels are best got from Plans or Brooke K

lSS wheels 26kgs a set
Don’t forget the 240r wheels are 1/2" wider front and rear
The 240 wheel is a half inch wider at the front to be fair. This would account for the extra weight.
The Lotus forged wheel is a good light wheel (i have them) but there are alternatives which are lighter and wider…

The Monolites are 1/2" wider all round and they are the lightest Must remember to use my set this year
yes the RAC’S are nice and very light but to expensive to get in the UK 
the Volk TE37 are also a nice wheel and now available in the UK for Lotus Sizes , but why have sector 111 stoped selling them ?
