2014 Lotus Evora S | Staggered 19"/20" Forged Monoblock · Polished Silver

Engineering Notes

Rear offset is the most critical fitment detail in this specification. The Evora S uses ET47 at the front and ET63 at the rear, so the two axles cannot simply share one face position or a generic wheel profile. ET63 places the rear wheel significantly farther inward than the low-offset setups commonly seen on many modified cars, making accurate machining essential to maintaining the intended relationship with the suspension and wheel arch.

Hub dimensions are equally specific. A 5×114.3 PCD and 68.1 mm center bore keep the wheel centered directly on the hub rather than relying on a loosely adapted fitment. For a chassis that responds clearly to small setup changes, correct bore, offset and wheel position matter more than aggressive stance language.

Finished weight is 11.3 kg per wheel. That number gives the lightweight construction real context without needing exaggerated comparisons with cast or factory wheels. Combined with forged monoblock construction, the specification keeps the wheel technically focused while preserving the clean form expected from an Evora.

A Stagger Defined by Both Diameter and Width

The front and rear are intentionally different in more than appearance.

A 19-inch front wheel keeps the nose visually compact, while the 20-inch rear gives the back of the car greater presence. Width increases at the rear as well, creating a stagger that is easy to recognize without relying on a pronounced lip or multi-piece hardware.

That proportion suits the Evora S particularly well. The car already has a strong rear-biased profile, so the wheel design reinforces the existing chassis shape rather than introducing a completely different visual language.

Polished Silver Shows the Forged Form

Polished finishes leave very little room for inconsistent machining.

Reflections move continuously across the split spokes, spoke shoulders and outer wheel surface, making waviness or rough transitions easier to see than they would be under a matte or opaque coating. Clean CNC work therefore becomes part of the visible finish quality before polishing even begins.

Silver also keeps the design focused on shape. There is no carbon ring, dark barrel or contrasting hardware competing with the forged face. The wheel relies on spoke geometry, staggered proportions and the polished metal itself for visual impact.

Why Monoblock Construction Fits the Evora S

A one-piece forged structure keeps the wheel visually simple and mechanically direct.

Without an assembly ring or separate lip, the split five-spoke face flows naturally into the rest of the wheel. That suits a design where low mass, accurate positioning and clean proportion are more important than decorative complexity.

Monoblock construction also allows the front and rear wheels to retain the same design language even though their dimensions and offsets differ.

From Design to Delivery

High rear offset, different front/rear specifications and a reflective polished finish make dimensional accuracy especially important. Final inspection focuses on the geometry that determines how the wheel sits on the car, followed by balance and the published load requirement.

• CMM dimensional inspection on PCD, bore & offset
• Dynamic balancing on every wheel
• Load-rated to 850kg per wheel

Result

The finished wheel set feels deliberately restrained rather than visually overworked.

At the front, the 19-inch wheel keeps the car light in appearance. The larger 20-inch rear adds the stronger visual anchor expected from the Evora’s proportions, while the polished silver finish keeps both axles connected through one consistent metallic surface.

More importantly, the specification has real engineering substance behind the appearance: 11.3 kg finished weight, ET47/63 axle-specific positioning, 5×114.3 PCD, CB68.1 hub-centric fitment and an 850 kg load rating.

The result is a forged wheel that looks appropriate on the Evora S because the design follows the vehicle rather than trying to overpower it.

ET63 Rear Fitment Is the Key Detail

The rear ET63 offset is what separates this wheel from a typical low-offset aftermarket setup.

High positive offset places the wheel much farther inward relative to the mounting face. That makes wheel width, inner suspension clearance and outer arch position especially sensitive to dimensional changes.

For the Evora S, getting the rear offset right is more important than chasing an artificially aggressive outer stance.

Front and Rear Use Different Wheel Geometry

Front: ET47

Rear: ET63

Each axle is machined around its own position rather than forcing the same offset front and rear.

That gives the wheel set a more precise relationship with the chassis and allows the front and rear dimensions to perform different visual and packaging roles while still sharing one split five-spoke design.

5×114.3 / CB68.1 Hub-Centric Fitment

Bolt pattern alone does not define the complete wheel-to-hub interface.

The 68.1 mm center bore is part of the fitment specification alongside the 5×114.3 PCD, helping the wheel locate correctly on the hub without turning the design into a broadly adapted multi-vehicle fitment.

11.3 kg Gives Lightweight Construction a Real Number

Rather than relying on words such as “ultra-light” or “performance optimized,” the completed wheel already has a meaningful figure: 11.3 kg.

That makes the commercial message stronger because buyers can evaluate an actual finished-wheel weight together with the dimensions, load rating and construction method.

850 kg Load Rating

Each wheel is rated to 850 kg.

That figure gives the forged monoblock a clear structural reference while keeping the page grounded in published specifications instead of broad claims about strength.

Clean Design Without Unnecessary Hardware

Polished silver and split five spokes are enough to give the wheel a distinctive appearance.

No simulated bolts, colored barrel or decorative outer ring is required. For the Evora S, the more convincing approach is to let wheel position, stagger and forged geometry provide the character.

For a different Lotus setup, share the required fitment with Xingtu so width, offset and hub dimensions can be developed around the actual vehicle.

1. What sizes are used on the Lotus Evora S forged wheels?

The wheel set uses a staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear configuration.

2. What offsets are specified?

Front offset is ET47, while the rear uses the unusually high ET63 specification.

3. Why is ET63 important on the rear?

The high positive offset determines where the rear wheel sits relative to the suspension and outer arch, making accurate machining especially important.

4. How much does each wheel weigh?

Finished wheel weight is 11.3 kg.

5. What bolt pattern is used?

The specification uses 5×114.3 PCD.

6. What is the center bore?

The wheel is machined with a 68.1 mm center bore.

7. Is this a 2-piece forged wheel?

No. It uses forged monoblock construction, so the wheel is formed as one continuous forged structure rather than separate center and rim sections.

8. What load rating is specified?

Each wheel is rated to 850 kg.

9. Why use polished silver on this design?

Polished silver highlights the forged contours and split-spoke geometry while keeping the wheel visually clean and avoiding unnecessary color contrast.

10. Can ET47/63 be used on every Lotus Evora?

Not automatically. Offset, width and hub dimensions should be checked against the exact vehicle specification before production.
