Hello,
Looking for an alternate set of wheels for my Emira. I'd be interested in purchasing some used wheels if anybody has takeoffs they're looking to part with. I don't need tires, but am not opposed if you want to sell the set.
Update as well if it helps anybody, the dealer found a problem with the pre-cat O2 after the last trip to the shop. The car started giving reduced acceleration warnings so I stopped driving and had it towed.
They replaced the faulty sensor and it’s back to me for some test miles again. Fingers...
It can potentially damage the catalytic converter, if the issue is with the pre-cat O2 sensor. The engine fuel air mixture could be off and that can cause issues with the cat.
I don’t want to give you advice as I I’m not a mechanic and don't know what your issue is, so you should probably...
I don’t think it would mess with your warranty, as my dealer offered it as an optional package.
That said, I’m in the US. We have some legal protections regarding warranties that don’t exist elsewhere. If you have any doubts I’d just contact your dealer, but I’d be very surprised if you got any...
Welp, spoke too soon. Just picked up the classic P2099 again, as well as P2272, P2273, and P0451.
I’ll get it back to the dealer next week. The journey continues 😞
It looks like GRP is selling the Braid wheels from the GT4, but they’re quite spendy.

If anyone has luck with a different 18” wheel, would love to know what worked.
I think there have been some teething issues related to emissions compliance. My understanding from what I've seen online is that there were production delays with the Emira, and in that time California CARB compliance requirements changed. My guess is that the team at Lotus probably had to...
Quick update, after swapping the O2 sensors, tracing all the wiring, and running diagnostics, the dealer replaced the ECU as the issue kept coming back. I got it back from the shop last week and am test driving now, but hopefully the issue is finally resolved.
My understanding of the issue is...
Thanks! I was late to the party and missed the FE order window but fortunately found an abandoned order at my local dealership in my ideal spec.
I really like white cars, and appreciate that Lotus went with a more unique shade of white on the Emira.
If anybody enjoys watching detailing videos, I had my car detailed by Clear Detailing in Northern Colorado, and they made a video on the factory paint and overall detailing process on the car for their YouTube channel.
Can’t recommend Clear highly enough if you’re in the area. One correction...
