► Alpine White E92 M3 with APEX EC-7R Forged Wheels



E92 M3 + APEX FORGED

Our customer Ken (@kppy86) stopped by to check out our new forged wheels. He currently runs a few sets of our flow formed wheels, the SM-10 for street and EC-7 for track in the Bimmer Challenge racing series. We mounted up a wide square setup of 18×10.5″ et22 EC-7R forged wheels featuring our new Polished finish. The EC-7R wheel easily cleared the large Rotora 380mm front big brake kit and features I-beam spokes to reduce weight while maintaining strength.

  • 18×10.5″ ET22 EC-7R Forged Wheels in the Polished Finish
  • 275/35/R18 Toyo Proxes R888R

Love it, does he need any spacer set up?

Is high polish finish very hard to maintain mirror finish?

I don't know about this particular finish, but on my E36 M3 with LTW (Style 24) polished wheels, I have to be careful when I wash them. You can scratch them from rubbing on the brake dust.

Then I guess for a track wheel like this, either black or brush finish is best. Easier to maintain.

Thanks for the post! No spacers were required on this setup, since the JRZ suspension has very good inner clearance.

The polished finish is protected by a clear coat, so you won't have to worry about scratching the actual wheel surface. As mentioned, I'd recommend taking a little extra care not to wipe off large debris or brake dust without rinsing off the wheels first.

if you get the polish ones, or in this case any wheel color.. just ceramic coat them so you don't have brake dust issues. just spray it off easily.
