Yep get on LotusElanCentral

Those wheels are sticking out quite alot, wonder what offset they are? to low an offse will effect the handling. Stock offset is +60mm but on aftermarket wheels i wouldn`t go lower than 48mm.

Not sure about them myself tbh, I think it'll be when I see them in the flesh that I make my mind up about them.

Doable, but expensive. Aside from shipping, I'd still have to pay the local luxury import duties on what they consider the car to be worth, then I'd have to buy a ten year COE for the car which would be around S$28k.
