Best 18x10 AutoX wheel?

[Raucky2000]

What are everyone's thoughts? I'm not looking to spend a ton, but I want something low on weight and easily replaceable.

Apex wheels would probably fit your needs: http://www.apexraceparts.com/

Apex's, 25 offset.

[Raucky2000]

any other options out there?

[LiM3y]

You can't go wrong with Apex ARC-8s. Perfect fit and a solid performing wheel.

[Raucky2000]

Fair enough, thx.

Here's an alternative...but I prefer the Apex wheels.

Yeah I like the looks of the Apex wheels better for sure.

Yup I use TRMortorsport MT1 (non-R) with Continental 275/35/18 for time trial. Very solid, light-weight wheels. The paint finish is sub-par, however. Chips very easily.

Not me, but a good deal:http://www.chinmotorsports.com/forum...?TOPIC_ID=1853

I'm using the MT1 (not the MT1-R, though I'm sure it's just as good). They look better in person than the Arc-8 IMO. I'd get the EC7 if I was planning on running them on the street, less than 10lbs of wheel weight is worth the worlds-better looks IMO

Do these fit over your BBK without spacers?

Yup. Works with StopTech 380 and of course the smaller Brembo 365.

Apex ARC-8 in 18x10" Et25 squared with 275/35/18 is what I'm running for autocross

I looked at the above mentione options as well and went with:

Enkei NT03

http://www.avalonmotorsports.com/ind...roducts_id=304

TireRack has them. Not sure why they do not list it for the E9X. They do for the E46 M3s. Anyways, 18*10 et25. Like them for the rarity besides just aesthetics.

If a particular budget is in mind, either the APEX wheels or Enkei NT03 wheels are the ticket:

Here's the NT03s on our Supercharged M3 @ Global Time Attack:





APEX Wheels are very popular amongst the forum crowd, let me know if you have any questions on either and I'll be happy to help.

These may rub slightly with StopTech 380 if I remember correctly.

[Expert@ApexWheels]

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:



Hyper Silver ARC-8s in 18x10" ET25 squared on the track on this e92 M3:

How much do the nt03 weigh per wheel? If I'm remembering correctly the Apex arc8 are about 20lbs and the ec7 are a few lbs more.

David, I took you guys up on your stud conversion deal today!

I'm rather lazy and have been running these on my car for over two years. They do scratch easily, but the are cheap as hell any way. No complaints here.
