240r genuine wheel rims!!!

[quote=TarmacTerrorist]Great price Dave!

You do realize youve just single handedly wiped out the high residual s/h market value for the most desirable S2 wheels dont you!!

Good job i dont have any left for sale.

For Sale - Set of 7 spoke Lotus lightweight forged wheels… LoL

They would look really nice on your 111R!!!

There is a rarer, lighter version available which is hardly ever seen for sale…

:wink:

If you mean the supersport wheels (which are basically the same as the 240R’s but with the face of the spokes machined out) then yes they are much rarer and I dont think I ever seen a set come up second hand.

However, I personally think the plain 240R are the nicer looking wheel of the two (supersort look too fussy), followed by the 7 spokes.

What the later Cup 260 style?

I’ve seen a few sets pop up on eBay, but don’t like them enough to replace the plain 240R type.

Good luck with sale of the new sets!

Yep, supersport.

Do you mean the 2010 cup260 wheels?? I searched and found a pic of the supesports and they look exactly like the 2010 cup wheels. If thats the ones you mean there is virtually no difference in weight (well not when I put them on the scales)

These are the 2010 cup wheels, as said above, same wheel with a shaving out of the spokes. I agree with Gav, the 240R wheels look a bit better.

I thought the Lotus forged wheels with 7 pairs of forged spoked are a lot lighter than the 240 wheel. I gathered my facts from Seloc so they may be wrong. Either option looks nicer than the Y spokes.

I have both, I’ll give them a weigh sometime. I thought the 5 spokes were better because they were slightly wider.

Do it :slight_smile:

Thats a cracking deal Dave! Shame I don’t need any :frowning:

This set has popped up a few times recently but not sold. They look pretty good in silver if you ask me.

Just paid for the first batch of wheels.
So a very very expensive pallet loaded with 240R rims should be with me on Thursday…
Now i have a problem…should i use a set or two on my car???

Your main problem will be in not sending them to dodgy blokes in Essex.

???

Don’t you have a habit of giving away wheels to Pikeys?
Please to see you’ve managed to put it behind you until my untimely reminder- sorry!

Doh, bit of a blonde moment there!!!
Yes put it behind me until my ‘friends’ remind me. :smiley:
Double check things now and if in doubt I’m out!!
Had a couple since where i have not sent the parts, sent emails to say please contact me with no reply so parts stayed with me…

Not completely blonde if you’ve learnt from your experiences.
Darwin works, even in the North.


PS shear plate fitted. Nice

The first pallet of these 204r rims has arrived!!!

ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
