These are the peeps who made the wheels for Lotus Sport Cadena cars. Russ & I had a chat with them at the Autosport Show,& they said they could make the “Winrace A” in Exige sizes. Clicky

Did they give an idea on price for a set ?

Yep, but it was in euros & didn’t include delivery etc from Spain. As I don’t need more wheels, I didn’t take much notice of the price to be honest. Drop them a line with offsets etc, & see what they say

4

But can they do them in 16s for the front and 17s for the rear?

Had this issue with the Compomotives group buy on SELOC where they could do Elise and S2 Exige sizes but not our quirky little S1s

I hope these guys can sort some otherwise I’mm looking at the KMS ones from Japan.

But can they do them in 16s for the front and 17s for the rear?

Yep they do them in 16",17" & 18", otherwise I wouldn’t have put the post up Somebody will need to confirm the correct offset & stud holes etc. See “Winrace A” Here

As I don’t need any wheels, I won’t be contacting Braid about them - so it’s over to you, if you haven’t already done it

I’ve given them the sizes and asked whether they can do them and for how much.
Awaiting reply.

Best tick the box " solid aluminium" and “round”

Serious - ask about estimated weights as well

You can really go off people you know





I think I’ll try whether they do the sizes first, weight can come later.


Spooky, I have 666 posts

See how this goes, I would be interested depending on price etc.

Yea, that sound’s Good value !!!

It’s just a pity I’m not so keen on the rims, maybe i’d change my mind if i saw them on a road going car !

Anyone good at photoshop ?

15

The one week delivery time ( including shipping ? ) is rather good …

Dear Sir Steve Jones:

Didn’t realise you were all matey with Lord Levy

17

So… how heavy are these then !?

18

Still awaiting a reply about the weights.

Cheers

I think it’s all gone quiet on this one

Well would you believe it, I’ve just had a reply on wheel weights for these:
Dear Mr Jones,

The weight of every competition wheel is conditioned by different factors, E.g. ET,P.C.D.,…I’m giving you an estimate weight for the Winrace Wheels:

Wheel 7x16" = from 8.30Kgs
Wheel 8x17" = from 9.40Kgs
Wheel 8�x17 = from 10Kgs

Also we have the optional lightweight for these wheels, meaning that we can mechanize and remove aluminium from the wheel, but we would need to know some information, E.g. type, model, weight of the car, …In this case the final weight could be deferent from each wheel.

Many Thanks and waiting to hear from you.

I take it no-one is interested in these anymore?
