APEX 18/ inch Satin Black (Added Pic with Wheels on)

Received these today from Paintpro's group buy. Great Finish, running a square 10 set up and putting NT-01s 275/35/18 on tomorrow with RoadForce Balancing. We will see how this wheels perform for the cost.



Great communication by Paintpro, Great packing. Thank you.

Theyll Handle Amazing, ull be able to push u car harder and u have consitent grip unlike street tires.

Fill them up at 35 to 36 psi cold, like around room tempurture. You will get the best grip this way. The nto1 isnt like other R compounds, these need to be filled like a street tire because they have really stiff sidewalls

I have your same set up

Thanks for the tip. I ran NT-01s on my 335i for almost 10 sessions, great tire for the price. I can't wait to see what they do on the M3.

Cast.
Weight around 19lbs.
You can run 10" all around with SLIGHT sticking out up front or 9.5 with or without a 10mm spacer.
A lot of poeple run them on Bimmerforums track section.

Here's hyperblack from the phone. It's a little darker than in the pic.
