i can get some yeah. give me up to tomorrow! btw these wheels fit exactly on the hub beneath without the need of spacer or anything else. This does not allow me to enter the lotus caps on the center of the wheels. Does anyone have a clue if I can put something on top? I found a guy that does various kinds of things with aluminium and he told me he can do something on the wheel cap at the end of the axle. I have noticed that there are caps on the rear wheels but none on the front. These things are those small round caps that are full of grease inside and clip on top of the end of the axle. If anyone knows where I can find a pair for the front then I can do something for my Lotus caps :)

I think the offset is +47 http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/ind ... -k1p-2.pdf


do you have any pics of your Elan with these wheels yet!

I was just looking at this exact wheel in gunmetal to get for my Evo :smt023 (assuming I can remove that blue crap from the wheel)


the blue stickers come with the wheel but they are not sticked on. so no worries on that. the work emotion fits on lots of evo's from factory. the work emotion cr is deeper kind of rim and it's a bit different. you also get the blue valves :)

I found this site for comparing wheel and tire combinations - only problem is they only go to +55 offset :cry:

Well, if you could actually BUY wheels there with a +55 offset that'd be pretty darn good!
