Yes, I have talked to them and they will exchange your LTS wheels with the original style Alcoa round hole wheels and pay all the mounting and balancing costs. They do not have a LTS replacement at this time, but are woking on it. I elected to wait for a while for the new style LTS before exchange. Look for cracks around the inside of the wheel where the five spokes come together with the rim.
