Looks good nonetheless.

I checked their measurement on their site with other manufacturers and dealers. Not the most exact way buy the tread width is greater than a lot of others as far as my front and rear size . Section width is mostly normal or varies slightly at times. They have a very found sidewall though which helps

one of the coolest 18" wheels without breaking the bank

dragazn · 08-11-2011, 02:11 PM

more pix!!!!!

love to see 295 / 305 on the rear

Looks great! I installed Apex ARC-8 wheels too - slightly smaller 18"/8.5" front 18/0.5 rear with 235/265 tires (Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 non-run flat). The wheels are noticeably lighter than the stock wheels. Save about 4-5 pounds per wheel which seriously reduces unsprung weight. Result = faster and nimbler, especially with my KWV1s. My picture needs updating though.

can we get more pics of the setup?

iBoost · 08-11-2011, 07:05 PM

Interested to see what you got goin on. I think 305s are possible on a relatively low dropped non m e90 with the right offset. Like 10.5 in the mid 30s

found this one floating around. yeah i know, rock flew up and took out my right fog. i'll probably delete them soon anyways

Thanks 18´s FTW

But I run 9x18" 235/40 + 10,5x18" 265/35 so my tires are a bit streched

teleopti · 08-13-2011, 10:26 AM

modmy3. best deal out there on this board, period. these guys are real nice and dont fuck around on pricing.

i picked it up in person, got it painted, and put it on with a buddy after drinking some beer, it fits perfect and required no skill to throw on

i wish i stretched a little. i am running -2.4 camber in the rear right now and still scrubbing, especially when i stomp on the gas at low speed and the car weight transfers to the rear LOL

it sucks ass. i need to raise the car

ianbiz · 08-13-2011, 02:28 PM

nice chunky tires <3

Jenich · 08-13-2011, 02:43 PM

Hey dude,
Your car looks sick with those rims, I have the same but opted for the concave on just the rear. Think mine is 8.5j in front (225) and the 9.5j at the rear (255)

The silver looks really clean! Sometimes I wish I opted for that color

JTO24 · 01-16-2012, 02:16 PM

Very nice I love these wheels! I wanna do the 9.5" fronts and 10" rears on my e92 but I'm not sure about the fronts... I'm on stock sport suspension with lowering perches

Id say keep a set of 5mm spacers on hand just to be safe. Dont want the wheel hitting the strut
