Lottii are 4-stud aren't they? Think you'll need to fit Elise hubs if you want the Lotus wheels.

They won't fit. Eliges are all 4 stud. You could change the hubs for elise ones, but now there are reasonably priced options in the correct fitment for the VX it hardly seems worth it. Depends how vain you are I guess :P Edit: Is there an echo in here.........

I believe so, someone on here bought ctp770's off his europa and bolted them straight onto a VX.

I really like the look of them. Anyone have any pictures of a vx with the europa s wheels on? I'd imagine they are lighter than the std vx wheels aswell?!?!?!

For the price of a set of Team Dynamics, and the sheers lightness of them, it doesnt make any sense to do anything else really. Thats why I bought some :)

I had a set of 111r wheels kicking around the garage, and after asking on here [many moons ago] about fitting them i decided not to bother :( Although since then i have found out it's not such a big job - pretty pissed i sold them on :(

Not really happy with the gap 16's leave at the front. For the type of on road driving i do the difference wouldn't be worth the asthetic anguish!

Hhmmm think i prefer the vxt wheels, and it seems the "lightweight" angle isn't all it's cracked up to be either.

Its nowhere near as bad in the flesh as it seems to be in some photos... You only get about a 1/4 to 1/2 an inch extra gap over the normal front wheels and the wheels just look so much better anyway!

I'm hoping to get some photos of mine up, hopefully I can take some that do it justice thumbsup

For the price and difference in feel you wont regret the td's thumbsup

EDIT: Even my wife noticed a difference in the feel and grip of the td's compared to standard, and she doesn't notice differences unless they are pretty obvious
