Which wheels?

There are certainly no Anthracite factory-fit wheels available.

Gee, thanks for posting the link after I'd waded through 33 pages of pictures!

Those wheels are Anthracite Cross Spoke Composite's (R90's), which have only ever been available as a dealer-fitted accessory. Get your dealer to price them up (RRP is £1845.00 with tyres) and see how much 'part-exchange' they will give you for the factory wheels, as they will fit the R56.

the other anthracite wheel is the R99 and again this is a current wheel available from dealers.

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

My dealer has offered me a set of R90's for £1000 plus the new crown spokes. Any one think this sounds good??

That does sound like a good deal to me. I think they are £1800 normally?

I did a special offer from a dealer once on here, just to give you an idea of prices I got without the purchase of a car or trading in any wheels

R90 Silver Composite with Runflat Tyres rrp £1527.66 + VAT

Special Buy Price £1200 +VAT

So if you take into account that normally a set of S-spokes with tyres sell for about £450-550 on here I am sure you can make your own judgement on if they are a good deal
