Evora 400 wheel suggestion

[JayEmm]

Pretty sure I saw on one of the Lotus FB groups the Team Dynamics 1.3 18" will actually fit the car, with caliper clearance - but only just!

Don't quote me on it though. That's a 400 too.

Sorry. I've been away 🤐

I tried them on my Sport 410.  Same hubs and brakes disc dia. as the 400-430 cars.  At the tightest point I had 5 mm clearance behind the spokes to the caliper.  Plenty of extra room.

Custom Braids are about £6-700 per corner.

Sorry to do some first advertising here 😉 
If you don´t fear a fair price for lightweight forged wheels you could have a look here:

https://www.leitspeed-wheels.de/en/wheel-lsl-01/

Front 19" 7,95 kg rear 20" 9,5 kg 
We started shipping now to customers and this wheel design LSL01 is made for all the Evora models especially. 
Wheel weight is clear below Lotus original forged wheels 19/20, price still below Lotus forged wheels. The quality is top level too.

Comes with full German street homologation (TÜV) and is not a simple adaption it is designed with the Evora´s high offsets and wide brake calipers in mind.

With that wheel you can add lightness right where it counts without compromising the well balanced Lotus suspension.  
The reduction of rotary mass and unsprung weight - means factor 2 compared to a comparable chassis weight reduction. 

Testing with Michelin Pilot 4 S showed a superb handling of the car on road and track (Evora S,  used higher camber at the front 1,0 degrees) and the car turns in sharper and even more naturally. Braking and acceleration is improved too.

Your shop prices, are they per wheel, or pair? It is not clear.

[Steffen_Leitgeb-LSWGmbh]

Prices are per wheel. 

 

[EGTE]

Okay, thanks.

Has anyone fitted Evora 400 wheels to an S1?

I currently have forges 18" and 19" wheels on S1 but  have the opportunity to acquire a set of Gloss black cast 400 wheels (Front: A132G0193F and A132G0194F) for cheap.

There is a suggestion on Lotustalk that the 400 wheels won't fit an S1, but with no explanatio

[CocoPops]

Yes, they fit fine.

Are you sure? The 19/20's don't.

Be aware that there are some stolen sets of 400 wheels floating around. If the price of this set is ‘too good to be true’, they could well be one of them:

Yes, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. S1 (NA) on the 19/20 cast 400 wheels. Running Cup2 tyres.

fair enough. When I enquired about them Lotus told me that clearance of the discs would be an issue.

Thanks for the help.  I trust the seller.  I'll give it a go and report back with the results

Resurrecting this old thread: do the 400 wheels (19/20) fit the S1?

[Bravo73]

Yes. 

If you dig up @JAWS's thread, you will see his NA with 410 wheels on it.
