17x8" ET25: Lightweight Track Wheels: APEX ARC-8 HERE NOW!

[PaintPro21]

They have a 4 lug center core set up already. It's a different mold. Once you have that changing center cores is easy. I believe I can just change out my center core, but it might look a little over sized for a 4 lug. I'll look at computer drawings first, which everyone will get to see.

Their wheels are heavy because they are solid gravity cast wheels. These wheels are basically semi forged. Lifting them is funny as there is almost no weight in the barrel.

everyone keeps saying +1 on the hyper color. I'll keep it when more people actually put down money lol

how flexible are the offsets? I mean if all the E30 guys want ET20, is that all that can be done or is there some flexibility? 8"/ET20 "should" fit my car but I'll be stuck with 215 tires or narrower.

Nado, the offsets are flexible in the scene that any offset can be produced. For the 4 lug fitment, it would not be feasible to produce more then one due to quantities required. Because these wheels would need to cater to the broader majority the offset would be more conservative as these are designed to work with wide rubber and not to cater to stretched setups. Off the top of my head, et25 seems more reasonable. It's to be discussed.

Shot in the dark but, I wouldn't mind a 4 lug in 15" or 16". Might as well put it out there ;)

Ha, yeah sorry that won't be happening. But good effort ;)

Oh man, those are so hot!

Veeeery tempted

Make the 17x8 4x100 ET25. 235/40/17 on E30s will be possible.

I'm personally thinking 17x9 ET42 for the M3. With 255's. Hmmmm...

thats very much in line with what I was thinking. and YES to the 255's on an e36. I think those will sell out before they get here. I posted a GB on bf.c about them. track guys want 3-4 sets at a time :???:

[DEV0 E30]

Good stuff. As you've already seen the Z3M guys are interested on bf.c. I could see myself rocking some for my shoe. You know we'd love some concave 17x10, but they aren't needed per say... :)

Again, great work!

You've tickled all the right spots for the guys who actually have money.

BBS dead-on looks, perfect offsets and widths, actual availability, and light weight. The pricing is just icing on the cake.

Be careful with the 4x100 project, as I guarantee that 80% of the posting interest you get will not materialize to sales. Realistically, most E30 owners do not have budgets/lifestyles that support $1k wheel purchases.

I think making the 4x100 wheels available to more than just E30s would increase sales - VWs, miatas, etc. I'd love to ditch the 15" basketweaves and run these on the street. 15" tire selection isn't what it used to be..

I 100% agree with the whole materialization of funds here. Heck even the e30 m3 guys who buy refinished wheels for 3k are evaporating.

If it were ever to happen it would only happen on a full pre-order basis. Luckily the wait would only be 2 months since the mold exists and shipping time is very minimal. Although the wheel looks very flat, it may be too concave to be used on a mini cooper, but that 4 lug market has a little more expendable cash on hand lol.

id be very interested in a 4 lug version. i would be thrilled if i could run 17s on the street as the tire selection is much greater. 17x8 with a 20-25 would work well.

Man if you had these in a 17x8.5 et 30 and 17x8.5 et20 5x100 with a 54.1mm centerbore I would be all over these!!

I'll try and remember that
