I notice that the the Vauxhall/Opel VX220 wheels have 5 holes, (in contrast to the 4 holes of the Elise wheels) which raises the question of whether wheels made for the VX220 would fit the Roadster.
Wikipedia does mention that VX220 front wheels are 17 inch in contrast to the Elise's (and Roadster's_ 16 inch front wheels and that the 17 inch front wheels hurt the handling. Apparently, GM wanted the front and rear wheels to be the same diameter on the VX220.
