i htink that they are going to be 38/40 offset and definitely will be 4 lugs but don't know if they are 4x100 or not?

Their LS wheels are nice, and yes they are 4/100. The only other question would be what the price on the wheels would be.

I got this off Elisetalk, posted by Arno, an owner of an Elise in the Netherlands :

"PCD 4x100
Center bore: 56.6

FRONT:
5.5Jx16 ET31

(Be careful at the front about the brake calipher! Backspacing behind the wheel spokes is critical! Proper offset does not guarantee a wheel that will turn...)

REAR:
7.5Jx17 ET18

LSS wheels have same offsets, only the fronts are now 6.5Jx16 instead of 5.5J"


So the front wheels are 5.5" x16" opt front 6.5 x 16" rear 7.5" x 17". Center bore 56.6 I do not know what ET31 means.

This is a pic of the standard rims on an Elise:

Do a search for posts by SMG. In the thread discussing his new carbon fiber "bonnet," you'll see pics of an MCS w/ Elise wheels.

SMG only put those wheels on his mini when he was getting his set of wheels painted....
he said they looked a little too goofy on the car! hehehe

ET31 is the offeset. So i wouldnt know if that offset would fit on a mini.
