Bing, based on some cad drawings I am doing, I am thinking I can maybe fit 17X8 ET16 (this is a lot more frontspacing, I may need to dial that back to a 17X7 ET16???) 18X9.5 ET20 Like I said, a lot of speculation and eyeballing at this point… Going to look into it more… The front is more suspect than the rear, chances are anything I get has to be custom PCD (which Work does) because I have 4X100… ---

ah yeah, going to be very hard to piece something together… better to buy new… and it’ll be such weird size combinations too… going with CCW is probably not a bad idea just thinking of ease of ordering… they also have dozens of wheel faces to chose from, some of which you probably havent seen on a Lotus before. Fikse might have something too. ---

The only thing I see you being happy with is some really rare old school set of low offset wheels that should never be found on a Exige but somehow look really good. ---

> [@MPD47](#): > > Fixed. > > I think the works look good, but you’ve already owned a set, so I fully support getting something different. > > 😉 Now that is nice. Why not go for some BBS wheels or HRE wheels or even hell carbon mag wheels? I mean it’s a lotus, why put heavy wheels like work wheels or whatever else out there. It’s a light quality sports car and deserves quality race lightweight wheels. Hell… go for CCW custom wheels… they can make you anything you want and they are basically BBS high quality copies (indestructable/lightweight actually for the most part) in any colors, sizes, offsets you want at affordable prices.
