Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

Hi gang,

I'm sure this must have been asked and answered before, but I can't seem to find it.

I have a very early S2 Elan with 4.5x13 steel bolt-on wheels. The PCD appears to be about 96mm.

I have restored the rims as best I can (but they're still a bit "wobbly") and fitted them with Michelin XAS 145HR13 FF's with tubes. Does anyone know where I can source old-style Revolution 4 spoke alloys with the correct PCD? Revolution themselves advertise such a wheel with a range of PCDs, but apparently only in 5.5x13 which, I am fairly sure, won't fit under the guards of a standard S2. They do have a 5x13 version, but only in 101.6 PCD.

I'm located in Australia, BTW.

Any help very gratefully accepted!

Ied suggest, you might find a place to straighten your original steel wheels. Or find new steel?

Revolution may well accomodate your needs as I suspect they may machine to order

Minilite wheels look good on an Elan & they will make 5J wheels to order (I have them on my S2 sprint car with 175/50 tyres fitted)

Having had an original steel wheel fail on track (scary) I wouldn't use them for anything other than parking on unless they had been crack tested

Is RDENT in USA the only supplier of steel?

Rdent supplies Minilites but not (as far as I know) steel wheels.
