You are correct, hadn't noticed! Maybe, drill & tap to screw some posts in?

Image wheels in the UK now sell a CNC 3 piece aluminium wheel with the original Lotus design. I suspect the inner diameter will be large enough to fit most disc kits. This will offer original looks with modern functionality.

The link takes us to the knock-on version which is OK if you have an Elan so equipped.
Are they available in a bolt-on version?
EuropaTC:
The page says "any PCD" which infers they do a bolt on version as well as the k/o wheel. If so then I'd expect the bolt on version to have a totally different centre and probably it would have the hub cap studs as well.
This comparison is from the Elan manual and it's hard to see how they'd get a 3.75" PCD studs/nuts in the valley of the k/o wheel - Lotus didn't manage to !
