Difference between RS and Laser Alloys???
As the title says. If someone could tell me and maybe provide diagrams as well that would be great.

RS use a flat face wheel nut as opposed to a tapered one and the 'spokes' are a little thinner
They weigh a little bit less than the Laser ones (but tbh it's not that amazing a difference) and people charge a bit more money for them -
given the choice I would buy the Lazer ones every time if they were cheaper and save myself a bit of money

The RS alloys come in 5.5J and 6J variants but all the Laser alloys are 6J.

Is there not an offset difference too?

IIRC, there's also the Fiesta Super Sport wheels wich look very similar to the RS/Laser alloys, but have a different offset.

There are, although I would imagine they'd be like rocking horse poo now! I'd love a Super Sport - one of my favourite Fords.
