Wheel Specs

PostPost by: Ianashdown » Wed Nov 02, 2022 5:35 am

Hello,

Does anyone have a definitive answer as to whether an S2, built in July ‘65 for ‘66 US model year would have been offered with knock-off wheels or just the bolt-ons with hub caps?

Did different years have different dimension knock-off wheels or are they all the same width, offset etc?

Are there any copies of the original sales brochure floating around out there?

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian,

I attach an article I wrote on Elan road wheels for Club Lotus News magazine several years ago. Hopefully it answers your questions.

Also attached are images from the Series 2 Lotus brochure for the Elan.

Thank you very much. This is far beyond what I was hoping for!
