where to get a set of wheels and a wing?

[DR.IAN]

My lotus has a nice looking wing on it, but I prefer the 300 or S4 style. Anyone have a wimg for sale, or know where to get a good deal on one? Also, I was wanting a more modern set of wheels on my 88. What can fit, and where do I get them? Thanks!

i have a set of original wheels with tires from my '99 V8 for sale on EBAY. kindly check it out, but it might be a fortune to ship it there to the UK. also, i am not sure if it will fit your '88 with the hub machine bore-up procedure.

other members, assistance please??? thanks.

A sport 300 wing costs about £500 from Lotus. SJ Sportscars do one for about £200. You can then expect between £250 and £500 to have it sprayed and fitted. I had one strapped on my 89 Turbo and it cost £1k all in. It was white and matching the colour after a few years can take some doing. I'm about to have the same thing added to my 97 GT3, but it's not going to cost as much this time.

Iam currently negotiating with someone over some S4 wheels and mine might be for sale though they may not be everyones cup-of-tea. There Compomotive 5 spokes, approx 6 months old but in black. I live in UK if your interested. Obviously I can only sell them if I get the other ones.

A bit of a hypocrite aren't I. Advising you not to rush into modifying your car as you have only just bought it like me and then I say Iam trying to get hold of some S4 wheels. Just can't help it! It's an iddiction isn't it! I wonder if there are any help lines for counselling this problem. By the way, where about do you live in the UK. My 1990 Turbo was professionally respayed locally to me. He will spray any spoilers I buy for next to nothing and he does a great job!

actually, I live in the US...even though my name is Ian, but I bet that fooled you. My Lotus has a wing on it, but I sort of like the 300 wing. I do not know what to do.......

Rob Little is selling a set of S4 original wheels and he is in the US. Click on his profile (little66085 (ROB LITTLE)) and e-mail him. The price he wants is quite reasonable but I suspect shipping would kill it for me being in UK. Being in the US, the deal will appeal more.

ps, you need to change your profile as it says that you are from UK.

Wonderful car! I also have an 88 w/ aftermarket wheels and the sport 300 wing. I purchased HRE's 3 piece wheels I believe they are 345 series wheels. they look a lot like sport 300 wheels, 5 star w/ high polish aluminum lip absolutely gorgeous. The wheels and tires all together were $2600 u.s from F1 motorsports w/ yokohama 520's 215/40 17 in front, 275/40 17 in the rear. With 275 tires in the rear you will have to bend your heat shield a bit on the left wheel so it doesn't rub on the tire during hard cornering. The wing I got from Curtis wings unlimited in No. California (I think Bay Area) it was 400 u.s dollars. I had the wing and groung effects sprayed for 1000 u.s What a difference it makes you will be pleased after your transformation!

Good Luck
