    I have checked out IMS before, but I'm not active. What part of ID are you in?

    I a big fan of how the ARC-8 looks and the lightness is just another bonus, so that's where my vote goes.

    I vote Apex for performance or Kopis for looks.

    I say the Apex, or the Kopi's.

    I need help deciding what wheels to choose for my car. It’s a 1990 325is sitting on H&R sport springs. For tires, I am looking at Continental ExtremeContact DW in 205/40/17 or 215/40/17 (depending on the wheel)

    Here are a few pics with the stock basket weaves on the car.





    The three wheels I am looking at are:
    1) BMW style 73 wheels with adapters 4x100 to 5x120. It’s a 17x7 with offset of 43, so a 20 mm adapter should be perfect if my math is correct. This is my favorite for looks by far, but running adapters holds me back. I might decide to auto-x the car someday, and I would not do that with adapters.






    2) Apex Arc-8, 17x8. Probably the best of the three as far as weight, fitment, and width. I like the looks of these, just not as much as the Style 73's







    3) Aplina replicas in 17x7.5 (i.e., Kopi). I would run these without the center caps (I think).







    Help me decide! Also, if one of those pictures is of your car, thanks for unknowingly letting me use your picture. If anyone else has more examples on red cars, post them up.
