Our Group Buys are wildly successful, but they must continue to be "spur of the moment - pop up promotions" to be effective. Our sales staff does not have a yearly Group Buy schedule to work off of, therefore they cannot definitively say whether or not a Group Buy is going to be offered at any given time. There are many factors that prompt APEX to launch a Group Buy - things like production at our factory, existing inventory in our warehouse, seasonality of our industry etc. are all impactful in terms of Group Buy planning. I would suggest signing up for our newsletter here in order to stay up to date on all upcoming group buys and promotions

I'm was hoping to hop in on a group buy as well, but I doubt there will be another one anytime soon as I checked recently and it looks like we JUST missed the last one, which ended in July.

Hopefully I can source a used set, as I don't want to hold off until the next one, but don't want to pay full price either! :P

18x10" ARC-8's look great on all four corners and gives the car a more balanced feel over the stock staggered setup.



Please call, email, or PM us for more details!

I have ARC-8's in 18x10 with 275/35 square. Do you know if spacers will be needed with a change to KW Clubsport coilovers? I believe so, but wanted to make sure.

Yes, 5mm spacers will be necessary up front for proper strut clearance. Unfortunately KW suspension is not the most friendly when it comes to wide/aggressive front wheel and tire fitments.

An alternative to spacers would be to be to remove the helper springs and purchase new linear springs from eibach, swift etc. This would allow you to raise the spring perch above the front tires. There are a few threads about this type of modification.

Anyone has any input on Arc8s on a jet-black e90M3: hyper black or anthracite which would look better? any side by side pics available?

Thank you Ryan. I actually had seen that picture before. Anthracite looks pretty good. Not as dark as one wild anticipate. I really to see hyper black, which is the way I'm leaning at this point. Thanks.

I am interested in an 18 x 10 275/35 square track setup but I have KW sleeves. I see this will not work with KW coilovers but will they fit sleeves without a spacer? Thx

Edit: I think this will rub without front spacers, I have some 10mm spacers, would this be too much? Do you need spacers in the back too?

The popular 18x10" ET25 square fitment will require spacers up front if you are running the KW sleeve kit. The KW sleeve kit actually has worse clearance then the KW variant and clubsport coilovers which already require 5mm spacers for proper strut clearance. The KW HAS kit would likely need a 10mm or 12mm spacer, and at that point you are pushing the wheels/tires into the front fenders. Since the KW sleeve kit does not come with adjustable camber plates, my guess is that you will not be able to dial in enough camber up front to make this work.

The rear suspension on this car is a divorced spring and shock, therefore the KW sleeve in the rear is in a location which does not effect wheel/tire clearance. No fitment concerns in the rear, and no spacers required.

A staggered 18x9.5" ET22 front &18x10.5 ET27 rear would be your best bet, as those front wheels would not require spacers to clear your suspension. Most match up 265/35-18 front and 285/35-18 rear tires with that wheel configuration. Since you have a vert, and your suspension is more street oriented, I am guessing the primary focus for your car is for street duty. In this case, the staggered fitment is a great way to go.

To clarify, are you asking about the wheels pictured on the blue E92, or are you asking if the ARC-8 wheels come in 19"?

The blue E92 M3 track car built by DM Performance in France has our Satin Black ARC-8 wheels in 18".
