are there any used 17s you can chose from? 1200 is a lot for 17s IMO. I got my apex for my old m3 for 1100 and they were 18x10 |

Apex prices have crept up a little bit I think as they've gained popularity. But for what they offer I think they are still a great price point. |

Best investment I made was the Apex wheels with tires. I went with RS3 because I bought the set used, but I'm happy with this stepping stone even though I may have been ready for R compounds.
The RS3 I think is a great transition tire, more grip than the Pilots when warmed up, ok traction in the wet on warm days, and you can drive to the track on them. Good wear too. Are you going sometimes soon?

I too am a proponent of keep the car stock (less tires/pads) until no one else can drive your car faster than you until upgrading various parts. |

not01s or ad08s. at only 5 days in i would say ad08s should be sufficient for you. set of arc-8 or ec-7 to go along with it. probably save the nt01 or better upgrade for when you have coilovers as well to take full advantage.

If you are really thinking 17" for track tires, I wonder if you are going to have to run a spacer. I know the sizing isn't the same between an E46 M3 and the R32, but I have an ST40 for my R32, and even with 18" rims, I need a 5" spacer for one rim, and I think 11" for another. With that BBK, you might be better off with an 18" rim. Frankly, I think I'd have just gotten a 19" rim as my track rim, if the selection of 19" R-comps wasn't so bad. Of course, maybe with the E46 M3 sizing, there is enough clearance that a 17" rim isn't an issue.

Fitment wise the 17x9.5 et35 requires no spacer to clear OE brakes and a 5mm spacer to clear ST40's.
David@ApexWheels was a huge help. *this applies to the E46 M3 |
