Lotus Elan

Knock off 13x6 Magnesium Minilites wheels, set of 5

PostPost by: pianoderby » Wed Sep 13, 2023 8:45 pm

I have a set of 5 knock off 13x6 magnesium minilites for an Elan or +2.
The wheels have a ~102mm backspace in the rear, so they do touch the rear control arm bolts on a baby Elan, but should clear on a +2. Wheels are ~10 pounds each.
Three of the wheels are in fair shape with the interior of the wheels looking good and some light corrosion on the backs. The fourth wheel has a good amount of corrosion where the tire would have been mounted, but I think is salvageable. The fifth wheel looks like it may have originated from a different set as the color is slightly different. The interior of this one looks ok, but the back of the wheel has some massive pitting and may be beyond saving without a good deal of repair. Wheels are located in California in the San Francisco Bay Area. Looking for $500+shipping.
Here are a lot of pictures to show the condition of the wheels:

Would it help if I called them Knock on or k/o or even peg drive? I don't mean knock off as in fake, I mean knock off as in you hit the three eared spinner with a hammer.

You never know on the internet. I was wondering if I needed to change the title of my post. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
