Im on the hunt for some different wheels than the standard NAs. I really like the look of Tubby one, and theres the TD ones of course. The other ones Im looking at are the Lotus Europa ones, but I cant seem to get any photos of them on a VX220. Does anyone have any? On a rab red preferably!

[CocoPops]

Vocky has em on a europa. Can't recall a ran red one with Europa wheels.

[ChrisS1]

Vxboyd used to have some different wheels on his old VX - think they might have been Europa ones.

Here they are on Vocky's:



On a silver:

Can't find them on a red VX anywhere, and even struggled to find them on a red Lotus. But eventually..................

Disagree with you smiley. If you look at the tesla rims they have 5 narrow 'V' spokes. The Elise in my link has 6. Yet the Europa S rims on Vocky's and the silver VX have 5.

Yes. So they the elise has neither the europe nor the fondmetal's

Thanks for the photos... Look pretty nice

Yep got a set sat in my garage, best looking wheels imo without going for lotus hubs. only downside is the 17 fronts so still small choice of rubber

[VX Boyd]

My old car

Where did you find that pic? That was before my time, never had the lotus stickers under the indicators or that dodgy font plate.

Lol at Vocky Re. the centre caps, the above VX was very much a badged as a Lotus 116, the Lotus centre caps cost a silly amount of money on one of the service receipts.

Those Fondamentals look really nice.

Thread revival. Anyone got any pics of a black vx220 with the Europa wheels. Or even a direct side-on shot of a VX with them? Vocky? G
