Thoughts on these wheels (photoshop inside)

@Mike93

Yeah…I’m not really feeling the wheels you posted for the Lotus:(

+50

[Fobwall]

@cougarspeed

no

@Carnut

no

@JayS

All awful, including the lotus Anonymity posted.

@XwalkerX

no

@theblue

those wheels look bad on the car…

@Fry

I’m with Dan. Nothing else on the car is shiny metal so the wheels don’t really flow.

@Mike93

@boardjnky4

Those work wheels only work on certain cars.

They’re not doin it for me here.

General rule of thumb, if you have to ask nyspeed, it’s a no

[Xander]

No. All your other car have had much better matching wheels for them, go back and start over again on this one. LOL

X…

[MP_B240]

i’m agreeing with 99% of the people here, awesome wheels but just don’t match the car

[66impalass]

Why not the RS134 monolites, I mean they are RAC wheels… RAC=ballA!

[newman]

I do like those RACs but

A) I want something that a ton of people don’t already have on there lotus
B) I want some really annoying fitment…

[sidewayz240]

Bronze TE37’s.

Or

CCW’s

Ugh, I know. TE37s are soooo hot, but at 750+ a wheel, it’s just more than I wanna spend… also, the TE37 doesn’t look as awesome on the lotus because you can’t run insane offsets… that’s where the TE37 really shines…

[sidewayz240]

What kind of sizes can you stuff under those fenders?

[newman]

This is VERY crude, but I think I can do 17X9 +32 in the rear, even less sure on the front, which i’m guessing at 16X7 +28…

Both those sizes are going to poke about 3/4" more than stock, which means a bunch of camber and some slightly underwidth tires… sue me.

[IanK]

I really dont mind the gunmetal Meisters on there. Need Wayyyyyy less tire for my taste though.

[system]

For some reason I’d like to see the wheels painted the tow hitch red.

But so far- nothing posted looks good.

When I was looking at them I found you can dip down into the low 20’s (ET24ish) with a 16x7 width.

Your rear fitment is almost spot on.

For TE’s to look good (as well as most volks) you need low 20s with a width of 10.5+

Yeah, that size will never happen on the lotus w/o a widebody…

I’m thinking that emotion CR kais with custom PCD to allow the use of the “deep concave center” would look pretty good…

I also like these but 5zigen = :tif: and IDK if they do custom PCDs

[sidewayz240]

Hmm, yeah not much room for concavity… KAI’s look pretty lame not concave either.

Tough choice… Meh, just go widebody.

[boardjnky4]

what’s PCD?

[newman]

PCD is the bolt circle… This is a picture of a 17X9 ET28 that I could MAYBE run… it’s somewhat concave, but not INSANE (NOT THESE ONES, just a ref pic)

OR MAYYYBE these: 18X9.5 ET30

Still not super concave thooo.

[Jim1234664]

i would stay away from the kai’s if you are looking for super concave, im running 17x9 +15 and 18x9.5 +12 and it seems like the mounting pad gets thicker more so than the concanvity increases

[Saxon]

why not a set of ce28’s? i think a set of silver ce28’s would look nasty

[newman]

CE28 is another popular wheel in the lotus community… can’t do it…
