The rims are OZ "crono magnesio". They were a special made rim for the Sport 350 esprit model (of which only 50 made). Factory price to upgrade to these on my car at the time was approx 4k. I tracked down a set second hand for a lot less (took 2 years to find some for sale). The OZ's weight approx 15kg less than the original wheels. They also say "E S P R I T" on one of the spokes, which is nice..

Jabba - you can get a whole bunch of stuff for the SE these days.. lots of people offering chips etc up to 330bhp. Elan is a lovely handling car, esp for fwd.

I don't have much in the way of vids, but there's a couple i did for the guys i bought the exhaust off (pukesprit.de in germany):

This was filmed last year at the old Reims GP circuit .. stopped off there on the way back from the french gp.
