I like the look of the khans. Really I would like so dark coloured wheels

The wheels on mine often sell cheap as they're not to everyone's taste...

I changed from stock 17" to a set of Super Turismo 17"

Considerable improvement in ride and handling due to the lighter unsprung weight, as Lotus keeps banging on about unsprung weight makes a massive difference - a decent profile (40+) should protect you from buckles.

If you can get a set of high quality lightweight 17's go for it - you won't regret it.

i always love the Oz Supperleggra's, can't get much lighter than them either
