Official APEX Wheels Showroom Gallery Thread

ApexWheels · 09-21-2012, 04:32 PM

With an increasing number of E9X 3-Series enthusiasts mounting APEX wheels on their vehicles for both street and track use, we see many photographs of APEX wheels shared throughout the forum. This thread will compile photos of different APEX wheel fitments, as well as provide the community with detailed information surrounding wheel and tire fitment, alignment settings, brake and suspension clearances and more! Please feel free to ask questions along the way, we have fitment experts ready to provide technical support for both spirited street driving to weekend track warriors.

Feel free to just share pictures, but we know other enthusiasts would greatly appreciate if you included the following:

Wheel Model, Color, Size & Offset
Front and Rear Tire sizes, Tire Make & Model
Suspension Modifications, Camber Plates
Any required alignment settings such as added negative camber
Any other required modification (Spacers, fender rolling, etc.)

Yes...just kidding, I wish though. They're local so I had the chance to do test fitments.

Do you get any squeeking with the Vorshlags? I did after mine...

ScreamingChicken · 09-27-2012, 01:26 AM

Thanks for starting this. I plan on getting some Apex wheels for next summer. I like EC-7 looks, but the ARC-8 is lighter. Tough choice, but I have some time to think. More EC-7 pics will help.

No regular bolts are fine. Performance wheels need performance studs too, the only way to go.

Just curious, have you tried putting the 9.5" with 275 up front?

Nope but it'll be a tight tight fit. There is a huge space right now up front that's easily enough for a 265/35/18 RS-3, but I haven't tried the 275 to say for sure.

But you're talking about 265 on 9" wheel, right?
