Best 18x10 wheel for AutoX?

Raucky2000 · 11-21-2012, 11:23 AM

What are your guys thoughts on this? I was looking for something to race on that won't break the bank if I mesh them up, easy to get, and fairly lightweight.

I know Apex makes a great wheel that fits these standards, but I was wondering about some other options too.

We offer both the ARC-8 and EC-7 wheels in 18x10" ET25 which are in E9x M3 fitment.

Here is the Satin Black ARC-8 in 18x10" ET25 squared in action at an Autocross on an e90 M3:

I've always loved Fikse wheels.

I'm going to pull the trigger on TE37SL 18x10.5 w/ 22 offset on this coming Monday.....They weigh in at 18.5lbs per wheel and I'm going for 3 sets so I'll have some tire choices to make next

You are planning to run 18x10.5" square? Or did you mean 18x9.5"

Raucky2000 · 12-09-2012, 11:57 PM

Yup....18x10.5 square w/ 285 tires....should be interesting.

Do you have the suspension modifications to make that fit up front? The Maxxis/APEX M3 runs 10.5 square but with a lot of negative camber, rolled front fenders and a spacer. It was also difficult getting the spring perch above the tire.

Yup, this spring I'm getting setup by TC Kline with his DA and I'm sure a lot of negative camber etc. STU allows a 285 max so that's why and I've got a set of the new Dunlop II coming for them. I've had a number of venders step up and help out: TC Kline, GTB performance, Rays, Rock's Trailer Sales, and Tire Rack. It should be a lot of fun this spring!
