That's a good point about people wanting to run direct fit and purchasing the 17x8 option. The best of both worlds: option 1 for wide wheels that will fit a BBK and option 2 for a direct kit wheel that will require minimal modification.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

17x10 is a little extreme...that would kill the scrub radius and steering feel in my opinion.

Yeah that's for a straight up track car with a v8 or someone trying some crazy stanceworks stuff with an extremely stretched tire lolYour signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I'm going to turn this thread 180 degrees and say that I think a run of the original style wheels would be best.
Those that want an 8.5" wheel...I'm not sure why, unless you're going for a stretch tire look. Could you still fit a 235 tire under the fenders? The original 17x8 wheel is huge on an E30, and with the 235 wide tire, it barely fits with minor rear fender rolling. I already get tons of grime from the track/road down the side of the car because they're so wide! :)
I purchased the last two 4-lug wheels from you a few months ago to use as spares, and I'd love to have a complete set.
BTW, in general, my friends and I love the Apex wheels. A group of us in Indianapolis who track our cars regularly all have a set: 135i, 335i, E36M3, E46M3, and my E30.
