I'd be interested in being in next group buy or current if possible.

This deal ended with zero wheels sold because most participants were only willing to buy if the highest discount levels were reached. Unfortunately, not enough people pledge to unlock even one tier, and the deal collapsed in on itself.

But there’s good news! We were crazy close to reaching the maximum discount, and if you look at the data below, we were also really close to having enough participants to produce both sizes.

ARC-8 17x8” ET25
Minimum Production Requirement: 50
Participants 1st Choice: 58
Participants 1 & 2nd Choice Combined: 75

ARC-8 17x8.5” ET20
Minimum Production Requirement: 80
Participants 1st Choice: 61
Participants 1 & 2nd Choice Combined: 73

If we can just get 11 more wheels accounted for, and reach the production minimums for both sizes, we can fulfill the deal in such a way that both sizes are produced and everyone gets the max discount. (Graph shows 115, but we actually have 119 now).

We believe it would be a lot better for this deal to just wait for 11~ more wheels than to cancel the whole deal, or at best make one size for just a few people with little to no discount. The site automatically tries to salvage the deal at the next best tier, and many of you have already adjusted your minimum discount downward as we attempt to service the most people for the best price. Because the weekend is here and we can’t work on this deal any more until Monday, we’re going to see who else would like to sign-up, and then we’ll re-evaluate the deal on Monday.

Thanks to everyone who’s been fighting to make these wheels a reality.

This is rad customer service! Thank you again Ryan and Apex for sticking this one out for us! Have you tried posting on other e30 forums as well? (i.e. Bimmerforums and e30tech)

We’ve asked Group Buy Parts to extend our E30 deal until this Wednesday August 31st, @ 11:59 PM PST to give time to those who said they still wanted to join. If we can just get 11 more wheels accounted for, and reach the production minimums for both sizes, we can fulfill the deal in such a way that both sizes are produced and everyone gets the max discount of $200 off + Free Shipping.

The E30 community has fought for this deal from day one. Do not let this die now, we need to finish out strong. If you have any questions that may be preventing you from signing up, please contact our Product Specialists today at groupbuys@apexraceparts.com.

updated, hopefully we can do this.

So do the Concave 8.5" wheels fit a stock suspension car? Or do they require rolled fenders?

[Nick's e30]

Why are 225/40-17 not a size?

That's exactly what I need -_-

On the flip side, I'm going to take some measurements to make sure I can clear 8.5's tonight. As long as it all looks good, I'm in.

There's 31 hours left and only 3 more needed to pledge to reach the maximum discount... Let's get these wheels made!

[earthwormjim]

Group buy seems to have reached the max discount level. Now to pick out tires for 17x8 wheels...

235/40 and 215/40 have pretty bad tire selection... Looking for a nice daily driver tire that doesn't suck in wet weather. 215/45/17 has every imaginable tire available.

Ordered a set on your site, thanks.

The 17x8.5 ET20 fitment was requested by the community and therefore we have not done any test fitments in house. Fitment would be similar to that of other 17x8.5 ET20 wheels on the market and camber will be required as this is an aggressive fit. Final requirements will be dependent on tire width, brand and vehicle ride height. If you are looking for a direct fit, our 17x8 ET25 was specifically designed for the stock E30 chassis.

Update!

Contact a fellow E30 enthusiast, post on E30 Facebook and IG fan pages to spread the word! We have less than 8 hours left on the clock, and we are just 3 units away from reaching the top discount tier of $200 off + Free Shipping. Without your immediate help, this Group Buy could still fall flat on it’s face in the final hours, and we have all come too far to let that happen.

The Group Buy closes tonight @ 11:59 PM PST. If you have any questions that may be preventing you from signing up, please contact our Product Specialists immediately at groupbuys@apexraceparts.com.
