New SE Turbo Owner - Help required

[Worzel]

Hi all,

I recently bought a 1990 SE Turbo, red with cream leather, last owner for 16 years. What a fantastic car! I've been lucky enough to own a fair selection of sportscars but this offers by far the best sense of occasion.

Unfortunately, one of the alloys has been buckled by the previous owner. I'm hoping to take this opportunity to upgrade the alloys to the S4/GT3 style OZ 5 spoke 17" wheels. I haven't had much luck trying to find any for sale, can anyone recommend websites I should be keeping an eye on, or even better, have a set they want to sell!

Many thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon, keep an eye out on Lotus Esprit Forum, via Lotusespritworld.com its a good start anyway.

Also consider reading some of the technical advice with regards to up sizing wheels etc so they fit correctly.

Thanks Kylie. I'll keep an eye out. I've been reading up on fitment, looks like the front hubs will need machining for them to fit, not too much of a work up.

Typically on the timing front, I've just missed 3 sets by a matter of days....
