I'll dig out some photos of them on a car and post them up here, but basically as per the first post in this thread.

I prefer the more aggressive offset fit/look

I've got a set of the KT wheels in stock that I can do for a favourable price, if anyone is interested...

Dave

How favourable is favourable ?

this is what i was thinking! Not £500 i bet 

[RedViper]

If I were him I would put them on eBay with no reserve ?

[Hangar 111]

Nice try.

A bit cheaper than retail. Unfortunately, we can't afford to do everything at a loss... :-P

I will be buying some more wheels, as i wont be using the trofeo for donny tomorrow. But really the TD 1.2 or similar will have to do!

FYI, the TD/Rimstock Pro-Race 1.3 is the same as the original Lotus Motorsport wheel.

Is that a forged wheel then or just a stronger/lighter version of 1.2? 

[Bravo73]

No, it's not forged:

(And they are much, much cheaper direct from Rimstock rather than from Motorsports).

 

The KT (& now Motorsports) lightweight wheel is the 'Pro Forged Ultralight':

Anyone found out if the offset of the ones sold by seriously lotus and the ones from komotec are the exact same offset?

How would those compares to the ones fitted standar on the 380 cup (the 380 cup rear wheels are different than the standard 380 ones)?

Edit

I just saw on the komotec site their ones are specified with et 20 front and et 35 rear

On the seriously lotus website they are et 26 front and et 33 rear

So if that is correct the front offset is more aggressive on the front if using the komotec ones and at the rear with the seriously lotus version?

I know they are all sold by rimstock /team dynamics but would like to understand wich ones would have the most aggressive offset front and rear

Oooooh very nice. Would they also fit an Evora per chance?

Sadly not

Different offsets  etc etc

FYI, his question is 2.5 years old. He’s moved on since then. 😉

very light...

hThere are a couple of second hand sets of BC forged available at the mo that I’m getting tempted by, both are silver so would need to be powder coated black. Overall cost around £1700 completed. Question is do I wait for a set of OE forged wheels to come up in right colour or jump for the BC ones. Any opinions welcome

The BC wheels on the orange car, but in black as you say would look great. Think they are correct offset for running 285 and 215 rubber 

[Kristof Thys]

I don't like the idea of forged wheels being powder coated. What are the views on that on here? 

[Jack]

I have heard the same and seen some wheel failures which were attributed to powder-coating.

Apparently, the process can weaken the structural integrity of the wheels.....painting would be the safer route to take.

I have both oem forged and bc wheels, I use the bc wheels as I prefer the look and got them in slightly more aggressive offset.

Can you confirm the offset on the BC?
