Title: Twin cam original wheels
Post by: Lotus supplies on Friday,February 14, 2020, 12:56:31 PM

We are looking at having a batch of original style twin cam wheels made.Would anybody be interested as we want to make sure there is enough call for them before we go ahead, they would be around £175 a wheel would ideally like to sell them as a set of 4.

Are you interested in making 15” Lotus alloy look wheels? The garage forum shows the reasoning behind it.

How close will the painted finish of the new wheels be to the finish of the original wheels? Much of the charm of the original wheels is in the subtleties of the colour and texture of the hammertone finish.

Will the new wheels feature improvements such as machining of the backside of the centre hole to better accommodate modern wheel balancers (my biggest complaint with the Lotus brand wheel)?
