This is my 1979 Esprit S2 JPS #24 (Oh, okay, World Champion Edition). Rumor has it, but I was never able to get written verification, that Lotus Cars USA used this car at Riverside Raceway as a test mule. She has 15 inch Epsilon 3-piece wheels in the front, and 16 inch Epsilon wheels in the back. I had to have the center caps custom-made, hogged out of blocks of aluminum on a CNC machine. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza S-04 255/45R18 front, 225/50R18 rear. She handles like she is on rails. I don’t really push her that hard, but on the rare occasion that I do, around a corner, the back end might slide out a bit, but it is completely controllable.

If you have the original Wolfrace wheels, keep them. They are worth a lot of money, especially if/when you get rid of the car.

Oh, and change out the spare tire. A rock-hard 20+ year old spare tire is useless. Check the date code on ALL your old cars’ spare tires. My 2003 Jaguar had the original spare when I bought it a couple years ago.
