Do you know where I could buy these rims to fit my car. OZ doesn't sell them here in the US. I think I have seen the same rims only they were MSW.

What do you guys think?

Those wheels are damn nice. Some of my favorite wheels. I've seen a picture of those wheels on a black FD but I have no clue where I saw it. It'll look great though!

 

Take a look at the MSW Type 55c - very similar wheel at a non-Lotus price.

 

In fact, here's someone who refers to them as the same wheel...

...just scroll down to his wheel specs.

 

Well, since you're asking for opinions, I don't like em'. There are many other wheels you can spend $2500 +/- on that look much better than those, but that's just my opinion.

They look better on the Lotus.

 

i actaully think they are ugly
and a few ricers have whaeels that look similar on their rice patties

 

I think there are cooler wheels for the money that are avaliable.

Yup!

 

I agree, they are ugly. It is no wonder someone yanked them off the Lotus ASAP. I also noted they didn't sell, so I guess a lot of other people consider them to ugly for the price.

I don't like them because they are bland. They don't have any particularly intriguing aspects, no nice curves, or bold strokes. They just go straight from side to side with a little bit of sculpting at joints. They are extremely unimaginative. Weak or bland, take your pick.

That is why I wouldn't expect them to be worth more than 1000 to someone that liked them.

They might look good on a sedan, but for a sports car you need something better.

 

I think you guys need to open you minds. Not EVERY cool wheel has to have a fat lip. The wheels on EBAY look very similar to the Mille Miglias that the guy at www.3Rotor.com put on his 7. And I think that car is BAD ***!!!

 

There's no comparison at all. The lotus ones are 6 spoke vs. the 5 spoke shown above, which I DO like BTW. In my opinion, I seem to like spoke wheels with odd number of spokes, 5,7,9. It seems to me the Blitz Technospeeds are 9 spoke, no?
Anyhow, the lotus rims would look good on a Volvo wagon maybe, but not a 7.

Agreed. Those rims are similar only in the fact that they are a silverish color, and you put a tire on them, and then mount them on a car.
