    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.
