Alloy wheels to suit an early S2 Elan, bolt-ons

• Page 1 of 1
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?

Find out where the limits are, and start from there

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?
