Interest in 16x8 +20 Apex ARC-8

[Bimmerguy91]

How many of you would be interested if Apex Race Parts produced an ARC-8 somewhere in the range of 16x8 +20? I spoke to them and they are entertaining the idea at my request. Basically they would love to further serve our community if it is economically feasible. I think this would be a great wheel for the E30. I know a lot of people in the BMW world love the ARC-8 due to its awesome combination of beautiful design, quality, strength and low weight all at an affordable price point. They currently offer this wheel in a 17x8 +25 but I think many of you including myself find this fitment to be less than ideal in terms of aesthetics, weight and tire selection. It works great for certain applications but a 16x8 +20 would look more period correct and is a tried and true fitment for the E30 chassis that allows you to utilize 205/50/16 or 225/45/16 tires and retain the stock rolling diameter.

I also posted to the Facebook page. I can't believe how much more active that place is than the actual forum. Makes me feel old :-(. Anyway I think we're gaining some support for this idea.

Its also filled with children who ask silly questions that could be found with a simple search on the forum.

These technical sub-forums are not very active. Theres a group buy section in the classifieds that would probably get more traction. Id see if a mod can move this over there

I would be super down. But remember 225/45r16 is limited selection

You are very correct on both fronts. I'll see if I can have the thread moved.

also interested. i was going to buy team dynamics 1.2s in the spring but i have only been able to find them in 16x7 which isn't gonna cut it

Not happening. We drummed up interest from hundreds and Apex decided they weren't interested.
