Do they have the correct offsets and no need for spacers?

Yes they do.

[cheeky_chops]

Here's the toora wheel for your table, i think this is still a no-no for the switz authority though.

Front 6.5x16 8kg

Rear 7.5x17 9kg

Thats pretty weighty given thorney also saves 1kg each corner on hubs too!

Thorney spec is sounding very tempting

Thorney, I presume both Speedline versions (VXR 5-spoke as well as multispoke) do not require spacers.

I've added a bit more info...

N/A stock front 9.8kg, offset 38mm Rim withstands 250kg
N/A stock rear 11.6kg, offset 41mm Rim withstands 350kg

VXT stock front ?kg,
VXT stock rear ?kg

VXR Speedlines 5-spoke front ?kg,
VXR Speedlines 5-spoke rear ?kg

OZ Superleggera front 7x16" 6.2 kg Rim withstands 650kg, offset 35mm and not correct PCD (! – 112 (Mercedes) not 110 (Opel) so needs "wobbly bolts"
OZ Superleggera rear 8x17" 7.4kg Rim withstands 650kg, offset 35mm and not correct PCD (! – 112 (Mercedes) not 110 (Opel) so needs "wobbly bolts"

Everyone should feel free to update/add/correct or criticise

As 16" fronts is such a soughtafter mod for the VX, when we've got all the info on the various potions, perhaps a moderator could make a sticky thread and add the relevant pics for each wheel.

I can get you hubs, I get them direct from Lotus so you need a trade account there (which I now have). I don't make any profit on em (you'll find that with Lotus stuff) but I'm happy to help out so long as I cover the costs and postage.

They bolt straight on.

can you help me with the hubs thorney?.
would like to know how long the delivery is and total cost?.
