Bolt-on Minilite's Comments Anyone?

[Elanman99]

I am fitting 13x5 Minilite Sports wheels to my S4 and wondered whether anyone else has any experience with them.

Hi are you in UK and a member of Club Lotus ? In last 2 issues of Club Lotus News has been articles about Minilite/Minilite style wheels and problems encountered by
members who have them fitted. Perhaps you can get to see a copy ?
If you can't let me know & I'll get'em photocopied for you.

Thanks, yes I am a CL member, and have seen the letters in the last two issues. Both were obviously unhappy so I wanted to hear from others who might have had better experiences.

John or Ian- As I'm in the US and don't have access to the Club Lotus News, but do have bolt on magnesium Minilites, I'd be interested in a quick rehash of problems encountered. Off forum if you feel appropriate. - Terry

In the club lotus mag both people were fitting 5.5" wheels. Perhaps its 1/2" too far??

I'm also considering Minilites and would be very interested in hearing more about this.

Anyone out there with a set of centerlock hubs for sale? I'd also consider going that route. I'd be interested in hubs, rims and knock offs if available. Please lety me know.

Minilite will make wheels to customers specs. Check out the drawings on <a href='http://www.gglotus.org/ggtech/elan-panasport/elanwhls.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.gglotus.org/ggtech/elan-panaspo...rt/elanwhls.htm</a> for sizes. 13x5 should fit on a S4 without any problems
