[bunteh]

Got my tracking info! now I just need to hope they actually make it to australia!
(much more nervous about this :P)

For everyone else, can you post the results of your tyre fitment when you get the wheels? ie. what size (tyre) did you get, what your suspension is, whether or not you've rolled the fenders, and was there any rubbing?

ive still got a good few weeks before my wheels arrive!

92.0 LBS??

The wheels aren't shipped bare lol. theres probably 25lbs of cardboard, bagging, and plastic wrap. cardboard weights a lot and I send the wheels over protected. The wheels are boxed better then any wheel from bbs.

Bunteh, what are your plans for tyre size, suspension, body work? Or are you just waiting to see what works with us

The wheels are boxed better then any wheel from bbs.

When I got mine, a few months ago, I was very, very impressed by the packaging. It is top notch. Then when I sold my Hartges, I shipped them with the same Apex boxes, and the buyer was also very impressed by the boxes.

I was so happy with my initial purchase, that I bought a second set...

Any plans to make the 332mm kit in a 4 x 100 now that these wheels will fit it?

[Hodge]

I may eventually get these for my E36 as well, in 17x9 form....;)

Hopefully, you realize that 332mm is a lot of brake and requires a rear kit too if you want to keep a decent balance. It can be made, but who will commit? We're talking $2900 for front and rear...

[rneedham1979]

Not I, front and rear 300mm will work just fine for me. :D

Really just waiting to see what you guys run, seeing as my wheels wont arrive till november ;)

Exactly. That's the point. The current 300x32mm kits are already quite sufficient. The rotors are as big as the e28 M5's and thicker. Weight will not get in the way of performance. A 332x32mm disc is heavy, meaning more unsprung weight and more rotational inertia.

Unsprung weight and more rotational inertia= BAD!

Just some color comparison updates for future buyers (17x9's shown)
