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

[APEX Race Parts]

Thank you all for your interest! New 17" Group Buy is now live. Check it out here :)

Will more than likely buy a set of these, unless of course APEX makes a set of 16's or 15's?????

That's where I am hung up, was really hoping for 16 or 15"

I’m down for a set of Anthrazite 16s. Bringing the Henna back.

Appreciate the feedback! Unfortunately, 15" or 16" wheels are not on the horizon at this time. Due to limited demand we would not be able to produce that size in the near future. Our 17" Group Buy is open however with lots of interest so far and we expect this deal to do well. If you are interested in picking up a set of our 4-lug wheels and save big, be sure to sign up here.

Bummer, 17s are unnecessarily big for the E30 and look out of place. I'd love some 15s or 16s but I'm not interested in 17s for the E30. How many buyers would be needed tonmake 15s or 16s worth it?

I can't imagine how big of a group buy would be needed, definitely larger than the number of people who check the group buys section in total.

You're talking a completely different tooling for 15" or 16". The 4x100 wheels probably use the same tooling as their other 17" ARC-8 offerings.

My company makes tiny power supplies, and tooling for our cases costs tens of thousands of dollars. For a wheel, it's probably ten times that. That's a lot of wheels you'd have to sell to recoup that cost, let alone make a profit.

We appreciate the feedback. At this time, we do not have 15" or 16" wheels on the horizon due to limited demand for those fitments overall. If we do see a large spike in demand, it could potentially be something we consider in the future.

Well said. Tooling cost's for a 15" or 16" can be quite high and unless the demand for those wheels are there, we are not able to merit a production run.

Track peoples will enjoy 17" rims as they can fit 235.40.17 rubber which has the correct rolling diameter, contrary to the usual 225.50.16.
Not to mention that 235.40.17 is available in a wide range of R compounds. I had Apex 17" rims on my e30 M3 and wouldn't have done otherwise. ;-)

Granted, I powdercoated mine white after I got them. But 17's with proper rubber on an e30 are PERFECT.

I'll likely be in for another set soon, but want to square away the sale of another car first.
