So need 39 volunteers. They would make excellent Christmas, birthday, easter presents etc. Even if your friends and family don't have Elises you could get them just in case or they could double up as plant pots, lobster pots, ballast... :blackeye

Compomotive will make you up a set of those and they will be a lot lighter

I had a set for my old smart (3 stud and different offsets front and back)

JJ had a set of compomotive MOs on his S1 Elise which are now on another members car so maybe they only make batches now.

Thought that was his exige, so in the larger diamaters?

The problem with Mos for S1s is the fronts and rears are a different design.

mixing my MLs with my MOs. MLs only go to 15" hence the hike in tooling costs.
