Lotus Wheels?

Ive been pondering for a while how the Lotus Elise wheels would look on my car. I know that they may be significantly wider in the rear, which may not be a bad thing. I have done research and apparently from one source, the rears would fit fine, but not the fronts without some arch modifications... Has anyone ever looked into this?

Find two more Lotus rears and run all around on the MCS.

IIRC the Lotus non-LSS wheels are not in high demand even for a low production niche car.

Hmm kinda figured... Will there be issues with fit and finish without cutting or rolling? I think they would look great with the car slammed I these
