I bought an S2 Elise last Feb from Stratstone in Leicester. It had one previous owner who had ordered it with a few extras including some black LSS wheels which I believe were originally for the Exige. I have being doing some searching on the Internet but just wondered if anyone on here knew a bit more about them. What type of metal are they made from and how was the black finish applied? Also what other finshes were they available in.  I do know they are a pain to clean although I do like the look of them. Sorry if I am being a thick not knowing much about them!! Thanks:-)

Do you have any pictures

Google lss lotus wheels for pics. They are the 7 twin spoke ones. A dealer should be able to tell you about them.

The latter one has a pic of them they are listed as "Forged Alloys" although they are shown in silver. I will try and post a pic but I'm not sure if I can on an iPad:-) Think they were originally designed for the Exige.

whats the factory black finish like on yours ? on my 2011 wheels the finish is very poor and the back of the rims have very little black paint on them !!!

[Robo Elise]

They are very good. The finish is very even. When I picked the car up from Stratstone in Leics they have got tyre shine not only on the tyres but wheels as well making then look shiny! A couple of washes soon got rid of the shine tho:-)

Its only a painted finish though , was looking for a powder coat finish ? £1600 for wheels then £250 for powder coating makes them a bit expensive for me , can get new pro race 1.2 with new r888 s for £1200
