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

I was not planning on it. Should I? I just bought 255's for the rear and 235's for the front. I also ordered 25mm spacers. Hopefully I can have them installed and take pictures before I head back to Iraq.

are you going to repaint the wheels, or just spot treat them?

don't leave the aluminum completely unfinished. Since it's on the barrel end and not the face, I recommend you get a primer and some kind of silver top coat and cover that area up to protect it. just mask the other parts off. Should be really quick and easy, nothing fancy.

[rneedham1979]

Gotcha.. will do.

Well, that was quick. Anyone knows if someone needs anthracite at a slight discount for everything basically unopened, pass them to me.

Slight update....

Tires are at the shop being mounted. I will pick them up in the morning. The 25mm H&R spacers give me the added clearance for the wider wheel. I will be installing all the wheels and cutting the rear fenders in the AM. I think I am going to need a fender pull but... I will have to wait and see. It may work out since I have stock m3 springs and konis and I have not installed (not going to either) the CG coils.

Surprisingly the 225s hook up really good with my current 450whp. Hopefully the 255's fix the slight wheel spin I have over 6k in 1'st, 2nd and 3rd.

I will post the pics and results tomorrow.

[rneedham1979]

OK here are the pics. I am running a 25mm spacer and the fitment is pretty nice. I cut the fender lip out and it currently rubs a little. I need to roll the fender lip out and all will be good. I am excited it will not take much to make these fit.

The front are 235's and the rear are 255's. The car is filthy from out 650mile trip a few days ago...

I think I may have been able to get away with a 20mm spacer which would help out with the clearance between the lip and tire but... o well. If I cannot get a fender roller tonight or tomorrow morning... I may have to do the baseball bat roll to get enough clearance to drive her hard

There will be more wheels in the future. But it may be a few months before more cone in. They'll stay in stock as long as there is interest. Hyber black is sold out as of last night, but other colors are still available, so these aren't completely gone yet. We're working with a vendor to try and make keeping them in stock more possible.

ETA on when another batch of hyperblack would be available?

Oh phew, I didnt think of checking this thread again to see if you had mentioned stock. I hope I got those hyper blacks :)

Justin,

You picked up the last complete set of Hyper Black. It's shipping out today.

We're not sure when additional Hyperblack wheels would be available. There is 3 sets of Anthracite, 2 sets of satin black and 5 sets of hyper silver available.

[rneedham1979]

Hyper silver ftw

Awesome. Ill have some pics probably by or on the weekend of my rig to post here. My tires are on some seriously borrowed time and then some. I decided to just go with some gf sports in 215/40 to be sure they wouldn't need any clearance work and will go on immediately since I don't have a roller at my disposal. Been droolin over these since the original 5 lug only plans :)
