03MY Wheels

[hedgerley]

I am looking to upgrade a 98 V8-GT with the Final Edition wheels. Can anyone give me an indicative price and recommend a supplier (UK)?

[cross-eyed-twit]

they are dear.
I paid about £450 for each rear wheel, then the cost of the tyre.
Look the business though.
I should have held out for a second hand set as a few have appeared on LEW etc for £1000-ish including tyres.
Might not happen again for a while though...
Good luck
Dom

Cost is not much of an issue - where did you get them from?

[cross-eyed-twit]

Well I got mine from SJsportscars but he gets a lot of his parts from Paul Matty I believe. If you contact any parts supplier (Lotus) they will order them for you.
SJ are a reputable supplier.
www.sjsportscars.co.uk
or try
www.pnmengineering.com
www.paulmattysportscars.co.uk
www.thelotuscentre.co.uk
there are others of course but these will help..
Regards
Dom

Why am I asking - because as per my original post I stated UK. Those are in the States.

They are still available from lotus:

£401.50 rear each plus vat
£379.50 front each plus vat

ie a full set all in is £1,835.35

Sounds like it would almost be cheaper to buy them in the states and have them shipped....

blimey, just did the conversion, the wheels at their current bid are £1000 less than UK dealer price. It doesn't cost that much to ship them over. Assuming you got them for the initial bid price of course.

Yeah, but remember those are american wheels, so they'll be left hand drive..

Damn!


Forgot about that....

Importing will attract the attentions of our darling customs who will add VAT and import duty, the Post Office will charge extra handling too. I learned the hard way, luckily on something far cheaper than those wheels.
