for Evora • S • 400 • GT & Emira cars
Lotus chose a wheel specification for the Evora that is both extreme and unique to our chassis. Often, wheel specifications are shared among various cars and even across manufactures so they can be easily used in numerous applications but not with our cars which means Lotus Evora wheels are bespoke. Another hurdle is the extreme offset specification—for years, we spoke to nearly every reputable wheel manufacture at SEMA and only two manufacturers were able to produce wheels that correctly met the requirements for the Evora. (The other company produces full carbon-fiber, street-only wheels at +$12k a set; pricey and not track ready.)
HethelSport is the only Authorized Lotus Specialty
BC Forged Dealer in North America
Styles & Construction: All BC Forged wheels are machined from the highest quality forged 6061-T6 aluminum creating a wheel that is not only strong but racetrack-appropriate, lightweight, and beautiful! With over 50 designs, we hope everyone will find a aesthetic that will suit their style.
Monoblock Wheels: These wheels are forged and machined from one solid piece of 6061-T6 aluminum. They are factory finished in a single color throughout, are available in over 30 styles, and are economically priced, high-quality wheels.
Modular Wheels: BC Forged two-piece fastened modular wheels undergo the same quality construction of the Monoblocks but are assembled from separate center and rim units. Available in 27 styles, the center and rim can be separately finished in any combination to match or contrast your Lotus. For most styles, you can choose to have the non-removable fasteners installed on the exposed side or hidden on the inside (example).

What is Track Width? The distance from the left wheel midpoint to the right wheel midpoint is often referred as a the track width, and in most cases, increasing the track width generally adds stability to a car (similar to running wheel spacers but without the maintenance hassle and danger). But there are actually two common factors that affect track width. First is the wheel offset and the second is the wheel width. Our 14.7 Spec wheels increase the track width with properly calculated offsets while our HethelSport Spec wheels utilize a combination of offset and wheel width adjustments.
