Lotus Eclat wheels

Is there anywhere I can find these without paying the ridiculous "OMG RETRO ON MY MK4 GOLF"* tax. They'd go on my car a treat, and think they look rather special:

 

 

 

*Someone's gone and made 4x100 to 4x114.3 adapters...

Er, doesn't Mr Bollox have a set of these?I'm guessing you've got a Japanese car then? Cos most of these were 4 x 114.3mm. A few were 4 x 100.I'd check eBay but I know their value has gone up in the last year or so because of scene cross pollination.

What make are they? they almost look like a larger version of the Mini 1100 Special Alloys made by a company called Exacton.

Yeah, have a Jappy car, with PAIN IN THE ARSE 114.3 pcd. :(I've traced some cheap ones, though I doubt they'll fit inside my arches anyway.

Just a case of watching & waiting. Anything OMG RETRO RIDES J-TIN PANTS SPAFF RWD DRFT DATSUN TOYOTA will cost you, find some which are being sold by an old git who had a Lotus Elite in 1986 and you are in. I bought a set of these for £12.

Pain in the arse? 114.3 gives you loads of options, albeit all from Japanese cars (and that Lotus)

And MGB's, Scimitars, big triumphs, etc. It's 4 and a half imperial, so basically anything big-ish, on four studs from before about 1980 and you are in with a shout.

A lot of the smaller American stuff had this PCD as well, and you can buy ARE wheels in this size as well new.Seriously I don't think you're hard done by for wheels. There's a HUGE market for Jap wheels on Rinkya.I'd be pissed off if I had an old Mazda, most of that stuff is 4 x 110 mm. Old Saabs as well, PITA - 4 x 160.
