MASITALY seem to have gone out of favour here in the UK.<br>Apparently, there may be some centre bore implications to consider too.<br><br>Anyone know of our centre bore size?

Hamleto,<br><br>Speedline do a wheel very similar to the Elise which comes with 50mm offset and fits Elan.   Wheel available in silver, gold, or white.<br><br>Think Speedline is Italian company so you should be able to find them.

Alan,<br><br>I have 5 spoke Speedlines.  I once saw a max powered Calibra with the identical wheels.   :-[    :'(    :'( <br><br>They seem to have a wide range compatible with Vauxhall/Elan hubs.

Hi Hamleto,<br>I have OZ Racing Super 'T's' on my SE. Size7.5in x 16in<br>100mm Stud centre diameter,45mm Offset.<br>One minor difference is that I now run on 195 x 40 x 16in tyres ( oem 205 x 45 x 15in ) but nothing catches<br>anywhere and handling does not seem to suffer.<br>Pete (aka Grandad)
