I'm looking at getting back into an Elise later this year and wondering if it's possible to order the 8 spoke alloys I see on the 2003-2005 model S2s?

I've seen a few nice cars with different wheels and don't mind if I can simply swap the alloys over once I've bought it.

Also how much and difficult is changing long roof to the newer short soft top roof? Again I don't mind ape ing a little on mods if I can get a good car for a good price

Thanks guys

Best bet for the wheels will be to look on eBay or the classifieds here for a decent used set. Careful that you get a set that's right for the car. The 111s (k series) and 111r (Toyota) used wheels that look the same but the rears have a different offset. Putting spacers on the rear of the k series cars means they can run the Toyota rears but obviously it is extra faff.

Dont know if I'm wasting time with this post, but if you are looking to get a car that needs the long roof swap to the short roof, which I really dont have a clue if it can be done,

then

the car might be of the vintage to already have the required wheels.

WTF!!!!! I'm confused
