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

Any hope of another group buy? :)

How many are we away from production of the concave?

I’m interested in a set of concave, but really don’t have the cash to drop on a brand new set of wheels right now.

We just hit the required numbers and are moving forward with production of both wheels!

Great news!

We’ve already reached the max discount of $200 off plus free shipping*

Based on pledges we’ve received so far we’re only starting production on the 17x8” ET25 wheel for now. Demand is not high enough yet for us to approve the 17x8.5” ET20 wheel, but it’s still early and there’s a lot of time left to make both happen. With how many of you showed interest in that size, we believe it can definitely happen. We’ll update the group as we progress towards developing both.

If you’re interested in the concave wheel you should pledge now if you haven’t already to help it get across the finish line. If we can reach the minimum production threshold before the deal ends then we can start production earlier and deliver it earlier.

If you’re interested in the flatter wheel but you haven’t pledged yet, you’ll want to do so ASAP. Units will be limited since production is already underway. We’ll be shipping in the order pledges are submitted, and availability of finish preferences get prioritized in the same order.

Pledge now, save big, and let's bring back our 4x100 wheels!

Appreciate it :)

-----------------------

We are just 2 members away from unlocking the max discount! If you want to truly be on board for this deal, be sure to submit your pledge (not just interest). If we can unlock the max discount early, we may be able to start production sooner!

loved these on my e92

I had Apex 17" rims on my e30 M3 and wouldn't have done otherwise. ;-)

Appreciate the kind words!

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.

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing :)

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. ;-)

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?

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.

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.

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.
