    Very nice. Is it an R or an S? The ad says it has 190 bhp but it has S wheels? It looks in great condition....
    My wife has just picked up an '09 exige. It's 300 bhp, crazy little thing...

    Great price for such low miles. These will only go up in value. Congrats.

    Those are the wheels that come with the base and touring package. These are the same wheels as on my Elise. It's neither an R or an S. The only other ones available at the time were sport package wheels which look like the ones on my Exige S profile pic.

    If you click on "My Garage," you can see the two different wheel types.
