APEX | 17" 4-Lug ARC-8 Pre Group-Buy Discussion Thread

[APEX Race Parts]

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.

What the heck.....I would love a set of 4x100, et25, hyper black, arc-8! can Someone get me up to speed?

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)

PM Apex Race Parts

ASAP!

[Midweste30]

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

[tmacbmw74]

I want in but it's closed :-(

[Zacm829]

Hoping for the concave wheel to be produced. Is it possible for people to lower their discount tier so the deal goes through. $50 or so would be worth it to me.

[FLG]

If this stays open for just till I get back from vacation I'll be on board as well lol

So I guess I have to miss out as the multiple devices that I am using will not approve the PayPal request for some reason. At the end of the order I get this pop-up message:

"PayPal gateway has rejected request. Item total is invalid (#10426: Invalid Data)."

We would be happy to add you to the Group Buy. You have PM sir.

Hmm says I'm 25th placed pledge. I'm supposedly 103rd spot. What am I missing? Looking at this on my phone.

Happy to help here. What is the screen name you signed up under?

The 17x8" ET25 is a fitment we developed and we're willing to accept the extra wheels required to meet the minimum production quantity as inventory. The 17x8.5" ET20 is a fitment we wouldn't typically recommend to our track oriented customers, so we're not as willing to risk holding inventory for an unknown length in time.

The same rules have applied to our other deals.

I get it from a sellers perspective...go with the tried and true, but the concave design should be given the same opportunity as the flat design. I guarantee that the extra sets would sell in no time once people saw how good they looked on an e30. Plus now there is almost enough interest for both! :) Come on Apex! Give the concaves a shot. I've been waiting patiently for these to come to fruition. Heck I would even pay full price for a set with no questions asked.

[Jonnybravo]

Woo! I'm number 100. That's a $125 discount folks!

Fingers crossed for concave action.
