    In for 15x8 +20. If they cleared RX7 calipers, even better.

      Look for 15x8 Kosei K5R or K8R then. Jonbloed also has a nice selection.
      Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

        Group Buy

        I talked to Apex and there is going to be another group buy soon. I will pass on any information I get.

            15" or 16" 4X100 Arc 8s that can clear BBKs would be amazing. I'd buy at least one set for sure. An Apex rep told me recently that they have considered it in the past but didn't think there was enough demand. Maybe if there is enough interest here they could make it happen.

                    15s or 16s would be dope. 19 lbs is a little heavy for an E30 wheel imo (maybe not for a swapped one)

                      Keep in mind there's correspondingly less rubber too. These Apex wheels are an inch wider than the typical 15" wheels available for E30's, so it's not exactly a fair comparison.

                      If you compared an 8" wide 15" and 17" diameter tire setup, there's about 1 pound less rubber on the 17" wheel.

                      A typical 215/40R17 tire weights around 21-22 pounds. A typical 205/55R15 or 215/50R15 tire weighs around around 23-24 pounds.

                        Very true. Thanks for pointing that out.

                            I would jump on a set of concave 17's right now!

                              would be in for a set of 16s if that ever happens
