It's a narrow body car, same as the Cup, which raced extensively on E88's.
Issue is the E88 has an alloy lip that is polished, but not coated with anything - not a great deal of salt gets spread on a race track, but on the roads corrosion is a real issue. You're recommended to get the lip clear annodised or otherwise coated.
LM's are very similar to the E88, but are actual road wheels, so you don't have these concerns. They're much heavier than the E88's though, and to my eye less attractive.
€4,500 a set for E88's, £3,200 for a set of LM's. I'm unlikely to buy new at those prices.
