I like these wheels a lot, although I have probably committed to too much spending recently to get a set.

That may be as close as you can get but ET60 would be better.

Nice looking wheel and not a bad price though.

it's a bit of a shame that they can not do the MO1673 inthe same offsets as the
MO1666
Offsets Available: et20, et25>43et, 47> 63
3, 4 or 5 Stud Fitments

Do not be suprised if they are heavier than any of the Elan standard wheels as they are motorsport wheel and have to with stand the rigors of a motorsport enviroment. Light and strong wheels come at a price, usually a more exotic material is used so increasing the cost.

Five stud does open up more options and it is possible to convert the Elan to 5 stud.

Aren`t motorsport wheels lighter :?

Mine are nearly one Kg lighter than the S2 wheel.


BTW, if your going for Bob`s Hi-spec rear upgrade you need to make sure the aftermarket wheel will clear as i found out to my cost :roll: Well not much off a cost as we have Bob on our side LOL :-D
Martin (texas) went for some 16" BMW mini wheels on they won`t even clear his front upgrade :shock:

Are they a true motorsport wheel or are they just marketed that way, I have seen aftermarket wheels break in competition use, possibly not put under the same stress on tracks but in rallying they need to be strong, where the weight is a secondary consideration.
If you look at the loads and stresses a car is put under in competition use compared to a road car it is not a like for like comparison.

Mine are listed as Motorsport wheels :? , i did a search to find the weight and came up with links to competition list off wheels and there was even qualifying wheel that weighted 5.5kg :shock: that wouldn`t last long on the UK roads lol. Obviously there for circuit racing and Rallying would be a different matter.

Really lightweight open wheels sure show off nice brakes, but make the tiny rear brake discs look just like this.
Strive for perfection in everything. (given time)
Take the best that exists & make it better. (given inclination)
If it doesn't exist, create it. (God did)
Ignore what I say. (good advice)
