i popped Exige wheels on mine and 48's, also popped on Exige springs.

Managed to get all of them second hand, next to new, and for less than the quote of your new wheels. Think there's an issue with s2 Exige wheels fitting your right enough, but could be a good route round it without spending mega £'s.

To fit S2 exige wheels or 111R wheels onto a K-engined elise the fronts are the same, but the rears require 20mm each side spacers to correct the offset.( from seloc techwiki)

In a rush of blood to my head got the OZ wheels with 048's , motorsport ARB . The Eliseparts lightweight wheels look good but are too much cash . I have always wanted a 135R look. To round off the look got some Ohlins dampers , please go easy on me 8)

Edit : By joining the Motorsport club you get a discount on parts . They called and told me that . :D
