lotus carlton alloys

[Orbital]

i'm after some lotus carlton style alloys for my car 17" 4 stud ones anybody know where i could get some?

[Tefal]

if u dont have any luck why not try a 5 stud conversion?

[Gaz]

Your after the lookalike alloys?

For a start, carltons are about et30/35 so a totally different offset

[*AJ*]

nice choice!

this is something i thought about with my belmont!

spraying it very dark green, getting a lotus carlton front bumper
round rear arch conversion, and spoiler

BABY LOTUS CARLTON

would look sweet imo

I reckon if that was done right with the proper colour and some decent bonnet vents etc that would look the mutts!!
Just need an LET in it then (and leather of course) and it would be sorted.

bit late for me to go all ther way with a belmont lotus carlton lookalike but would not mind just to wack a set of alloys on if i could find some replica ones. one day i'll own the reel thing

Good luck if you do actually find any.


They sell for obscene amounts of money, i'm talking £1k plus without tyres

*** cough cough - OFFSET!!!! ***

The Lotus Carlton has 17" Ronal rims, theres nothing else out there that really looks anything remotely like them, believe me Ive looked!

Ive got a set of genuine LC rims on my Lotus Rep and they cost a fortune! the rears are still available from VX I believe but they are about £500 a piece, the front are like hens teeth though.

You'll have a problem getting them on a Belmont/Astra though as not only are they 5 stud the rears are HUGE! 9.5" wide, with a massive offset.

You can see the difference here:

Front:



Rear:

really I'll take 3 at that price!!lmao lmao

think you meant £15K

[PERALBOY]

I think you'll find he was talking about the alloys, not the car?

[Squig]

I really should read more thoughrly lmao

The fronts are only 8" wide arent they ??? If so you could get 4 fronts (if you could find them) that would make life slightly easier.

[Davey]

Fronts are 8.5 inches and you'll need a miracle to find 4! they are so hard to find some people have resorted to using rears on the front. look to pay about 300-700 quid per wheel depending on condition
