APEX ARC-8 light weight wheels [1000+ wheels in-stock, read to ship]

Eddy@ApexWheels · 10-18-2010, 06:02 PM

the 10.5" sample arrives tomorrow

Eddy@ApexWheels · 10-19-2010, 02:34 PM

Sample wheel is here. It weights in at 20.5lbs

We increased the load rating again, even though it was already above the JWL requirement. Wide track wheels always benefit from being extra strong.

aus · 10-19-2010, 06:16 PM

Congrats!!
Any chance of returning of a pair of never opened 10" wheels? My track events got cancelled with the CCA this year and they've been sitting in a box since the last group buy.

Eddy@ApexWheels · 10-19-2010, 06:48 PM

I only have a single sample wheel. The 18x10.5's won't arrive in stock until the end of December or worst case early January.

We could arrange for a return at the time of ordering the 10.5's

JC919 · 10-19-2010, 07:24 PM

Damn, December now?

production was pushed back a month. But they'll be here soon, and Group Buy members will save a pretty penny at the same time.

AMPowerJ · 10-25-2010, 06:24 PM

Do you have details on the group buy yet?

Eddy@ApexWheels · 10-25-2010, 07:58 PM

On Oct. 31st the Group Buy for the 18x10.5" wheels will be open.

There is currently a Group Buy on M3Forum.net for the other sizes, which can be joined by going to www.groupbuyparts.com

aus · 11-11-2010, 11:55 PM

Will we need a small spacer (5mm) for the rear?
This makes a nice 9.5" front/10.5" rear track set-up.

No need for a spacer. Wheels with lower offsets then this are for aesthetics. These wheels are intended to provide extreme summer and r-compound tire clearance within the fender.

Just noticed the "Finish" is only silver?

JC919 · 11-12-2010, 05:20 PM

I think I'm gonna wait until they've been produced, but still very interested in a set in gunmetal

There was a mistake on the site. All 4 finishes are available

Eddy@ApexWheels · 11-19-2010, 04:18 PM

Today is the last day to join the 18x10.5" et27 Group Buy, and the 18x9.5" et35 Group Buy!

Stormtroooper · 11-19-2010, 04:38 PM

how much for a squared setup of 18x10 for an e92?

Thanks

The forum didn't notify me this post was here. Apologies for the delayed response.

A square setup is $1296 plus shipping. They are still in stock, and the 18x10.5" rears ($344 each), should be in stock this time next month.

Ryboy98 · 12-20-2010, 10:05 PM

When are these going to be available? 10.5 size that is...i went to do the group buy on the last day but it wouldn't take.

10.5's will be available first week of Feb. the new 18x9.5" et22 wheels will be available in March, but a group buy will be open February.

Eddy@ApexWheels · 12-21-2010, 06:42 PM

UPDATE:

The ETA for the 18x9.5", 18x10.5" and 17x9" wheels is now the first week of February. This is due to the painting process needed for all wheels in addition to machining time needed for the 10.5" wheels.

I'd like to apologize to everyone for this delay. We will be providing all members an additional $40 discount tomorrow in compensation for the wait, and as a thank you for giving us your trust when signing up for this Group Buy. We plan to continue offering Group Buys in the future (not just this M3forum specific version) and they cannot be successful without your trust.

Group Buy members receive discounts for participating/paying early, and if that time period stretches out further then expected, it's the responsibility of the vendor to compensate members for the added wait time. Excuses alone are not worth anything. It's also our policy to compensate all members equally.

We have no control over this delay sadly, but as the distributor we must take responsibility. It was unknown to me that the other wheels could not be painted until the 10.5" wheels were done being machined.

I hope this delay does not cause any major issues for those who participated.

Thank you,

-Eddy Pintacsi

This is what I'm thinking about doing. Are you running any spacers? Suspension mods? Thanks.

no spacers or mods are needed to make the 18x10's with 275 NT-01's fit a stock E9X M3. It's just bolt on, front and rear.
