Le Car

Every once in awhile, the intarwebs produces a gem that makes me take pause, and wonder if I need another car. This link doesn't dissappoint. Do want.

The last time eBay had such a gem, I had to buy it. That was Valentine's Day, 2007, and here it is...

Where would one get aftermarket wheels for such car?

 

I think the Smart ForTwo is the only other car I've seen with 3-lug wheels...aside from another Renault.

 

You could pilfer the wheels from a Renault Alpine A310. Try to find one, though.

 

EDIT: EBAY IS THE SHIZZNIT! :D

BBS actually made 3 lug wheels for these cars when they were raced in SCCA - yes, just write a big enough check and you can have your own spec pro series in SCCA! A friend of mine bought an old "Renault Cup" Le Car - complete with 2-3 sets of 3 lug BBS's with it. Wierd-o-rama!!! Imagine 20-30 Le Cars all charging (OK slowly gatthering speed) coming to the green flad at M-O - hysterical!
