THIS is effing gorgeous. I may very well copy this for my own boring stock set. I like the ones Ek has best, but I reckon they're either rare, super spendy, or both.

Got these beauties off EBay for a very reasonable price including almost new tyres!
They are OZ Superturismo 17" I believe as featured in a certain photo earlier on in this thread (in the "gas" station!)
I did a light refurb on them to repair some curb rash. In my opinion they are the nicest looking aftermarket wheel available for the Élan although they don't meet the specified offset and as a result suffer from tram lining a little.

I liked them like that, but decided gun metal gave the car a more aggressive look/feel.

Not sure why I never posted these here (since I've had them for several years now) but here goes. Custom 17" wheels from J-Line with the correct +60 offset.

I was wondering if anyone has had their S2 wheels painted in a colour other than silver or gray. If so, a picture would be good.

Very stealth like. I saw that car in the flesh on the Club Lotus stand at Silverstone about 3 years ago. I didn't meet the owner but maybe Muley did ?

Muley would have done - it was his car at the time. And now it is mine.
