Anyone know anything about these new LS 240R style alloys?

Not heard anything myself, other than I recall someone (speedyellow I think) mentioning that they were extremely expensive.

They are lighter and wider than any alloys Lotus have produced for the Exige so far, the down side is they are £1600+Vat a set.... and in the UK only available to 240R owners...

So how might a 111R owner go about getting them?

Thats crap I bought a set for my standard Exige

Must have been the dealer trying to justify the price to me then!

How do they compare to the new forged alloy used on the R?

[speedyellow]

Width is the biggest difference I beleive? They are sized to enable you to mount slicks if you want.
