What wheels.....

The Oily Bits S2 Specific Topics

There’s a thread in the S1 section going on about TMR’s which do look very very nice on an S1 :sunglasses: but VFM seems to be an issue.

What is the best looking, weight, VFM or even 2 out of the three of the pre-mentioned on an S2?

Allow me to start, my Volks are gold anodised but light, very light, I’ll weigh them next time I have the tyres changed (see Seloc Teckwiki). They give 8mm further off set but require a spigot ring to fit and cost pre Economy melt down �1500 but I think they are the bollox, so what do you people think look best…please add pictures :sunglasses:

Dude!!!

I reckon you are spot on mate!!

I looked at the TMR’s last week, bloody expensive and even bloody lighter!!!

As soon as I got home, I searched for your post on you wheels!!! They are indeed the dogs mate… I just WISH they did them in a 5 spoke design for the S1 as I think that just suits the car more! Both the TMR and the Speedline are both 5 spoke!

Having said all that, they look a complete BARGAIN against what else is available out there!!! I had the misfortune to pick up a Rimstock with a tyre on today… almost broke my back!!!

So, a big thumbs up from me too mate… even if one spoke too many!!!..

… nothing worse than being mentally a spoke short of a wheel !!! :smiley:

Cheers buddy. I’ve never really nailed the perfect wheel on an S2 but I suppose the 240R doesn’t look too dissimilar to the TE-37. Where the TMR perfectly finishes an S1.

TMR!!!

I know!!! :cry:

I had first ‘dibs’ on the Pro-Alloy ones!!! True gents Alex and Wayne!

Just could not justify � 2.3 k on wheels… they R amazing looking and a Coke can is heavier!!! :smiley:

Do yours come in an S1 fitment???

MORE importantly, RU coming to Donny on the 9th Oct!!! :sunglasses:

I find the best wheels are always connected to a working gearbox :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Cup 260 for me but then I would say that.

A COOL car :sunglasses: !!!

(Actually I do miss my S2… with the MY rear wing like Boothy’s!)

Wheels… Very cool too!!! note they are again 5 spoke… still think that is the best ‘look’ for any Exige… quite similar to the TMR’s really!

Mate, stop sulking and get out there driving! Your car is just great !!! :slight_smile:

Very nice!!! 2010 cup wheel?

Did you get them from a lotus dealer boothy?

I have those 2010 cup wheels and got them from Dave G.
I think they may be slightly lighter than the 240R’s I have, but, the 240R is the wheel. Looks better, cleans better.

that red car is class

They are the Supersport wheel & correct they are very slightly lighter than the 240R wheel. Dead easy to clean, but look better in gloss black :wink: I got mine direct from the factory…

Easy to clean except when I ran PF pads

Yes, that’s a good point about the gloss. Dave only had them in satin. Once I’ve let the PF pads rip them apart I’ll get them refurbed in gloss

Cheers guys, it’s all opinions obviously but I think they look a bit cheap in gloss unless they have a silver rim.
Not convinced the 240r wheel looks better either IMHO or I would of bought those.
Yes they were from Christopher Neil’s :slight_smile:
If I were getting them re furbed though I would go gloss black and silver rim, the daddy of all wheels.

Your car does look good, Mr B, especially with those wheels. Get it used!
