Some early K' plate's had lattice wheels,

If it's a Green top engine it's shark tooth,

Red top - Lattice

I think if it has the swoopy dash, electric sunroof and fully colour coded rear spoiler (without black lip) as standard it should also have the shark tooths. The ones before that facelift had the lattice wheels.

True, one good aspect of them is that you can save 8kg ( almost ) off the weight of your car by switching to sharktooths from lattices. Or, almost 2kg per corner of unsprung weight. That's the sort of change a Lotus chassis engineer woudl kill for!
