There seems to be a lot of Exige S2 wheels for sale at the mo
What are people swaping them for?
The only options I know of are Lotus ones, the only nice light ones being the 240R wheels but bet they cost a bit.
Any other options?
I Belive they are changing them for 25 inch spinners like they have on the hummer, it is winter after all they probably need knobbly tyres for their S2 road car

I think S2 Exige owners are trying to get rid of the cars bit by bit, since the recent recommendation to dealers from Lotus UK to clear out stock.
I replaced mine with the lightweight forged alloys.

Got them powder coated in matt black.
They are significantly lighter than the standard S2 rims.
Standard front: 8kg
Standard rear: 10kg
Total: 36kg
Forged front: 6kg
Forged rear: 7kg
Total: 26kg
All the weights are approximate as it involved me getting on the bathroom scales with and without the wheels.

I presume that you are “single” or the missus was out, when you did that! If I’m totally wrong, please let us in on the details of your conversation preceeding said “scientific test”
The missus was out for the evening
She thinks I’m daft enough as it is.
Has anyone prised a set of 240R wheels off Lotus yet?
Spotted these on the PB Racing site when scouting for their seats.
The URL suggests that they are speedlines.
Do you think Nick would notice if I ‘borrowed’ his
