Are the fed wheels worth putting on an se, i know they dont look that much different but a set of nice new shinny wheels might cheer me up after my windscreen cracked

I think they're an improvement on the SE wheels, because the cutouts are symmetrical and don't make the two wheels on the driver's side (UK) look like they're on back to front.

They're 16" versus 15" on the SE too.

I had these on my old white elan, & reckoned they looked great.

another bloody waste of time, the bloke told me to ring first thing mon morn to do th same deal, because i forgot my credit card, i rang at nine to be told they had'nt unloaded the vans yet ,call back a 4-30,
i calleed him back to be told he's only got one wheel left.
i guess things come in three,
wife has small front end ding
cracked windscreen
now no wheels,
bollocks,
sod it i'll cheer my self up with a full respry at option 1

have you tried SW Lotus?

Despite the blue Toyo gazebo I think he was dealing with SW.

regrettably i zoomed round the hall in about 1/2 hour on sunday morning and saw the toyo tent but didn't associate it with SWL. Had a quick look at the car booty type stall that SWL usually put up and either M100 sales were brisk or they didn't have much up this year. Who's been buying the fed wheels then cos i thought they had loads?
