Also, looking at TPMS sensor, Huf UVS7050-RDE077 looks like the right part to go with the wheels. What am I in for as far as programming? I think I saw some posts that the car can discover them on its own, is that true? Or do I need a tool to program them in?

Read this post for an idea of how the 19x9.5 ET25 fits on the car: https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1985999
The featured car has the ZTK package so the fender extensions help to reduce visual poke, but they don't improve clearances compared to a standard car.

9" square is indeed a sure thing with the right tires.

RDE077 is the correct sensor and is preprogrammed. The sensors don't need to be paired to the car with a tool, but I believe you'll need to initialize them through iDrive after they're installed.

Bronze look on a budget. This is what 7 months of filth looks like on Apex VS-5RS forged wheels in Brushed Clear finish. Finally detailed the car yesterday.

What a before and After! This is why I always buy Anthracite.

That looks sensational.
Question: are those OEM roundels? I'm planning to have mine put on my VS-5RS wheels next week, and I'm hoping that they fit without issue.

Yes, OEM roundels. They fit but not snug, they will rotate on the wheel. I used 4 dabs of hot glue from the backside of the roundel to keep them in place.

Installed the Apex VS-5RS Wheels today with brand new Michelin PS4S tires. I'm very pleased. Square set-up— 255s all around. I was mildly concerned about the poke with the wider (than stock) tires up front. It looks fine to me!

Here are a couple of shots for those of you wondering about fitment and aesthetics...

Looks great, broski! Did you go with 19x9 ET 25 all around?

Let me know if you are getting any rubbing

If you had to have a 19x9.5" rear, we offer a 19x9.5 ET25 wheel for the Supra that would be an option, but it would be an aggressive fitment.

For visual reference here is a 19x9 ET28 SM-10 APEX wheel on the front of a 2 series: (going large with these, expand as needed)

Just to double confirm: the rears on this example are 19x10 ET38 wheels?
Is the car lowered at all?
Getting very close to pull the trigger

Yes- stock.
No rubbing, and no clicking (I saw something about clicking in another post here).

Thanks again. This helped. I am going to order the same size in Anthracite. Should look great with my Eibach Pro Kit with no issues (as per APEX and other comments). Cheers

I get mad clicking but cant hear it when the windows are up, cant be bothered running spacers on these as well, sounds like loads of metal tinkling, bit like on old cars when the exhaust heat shield starts to cool down after a run.

Man that sucks I have been curious to hear if yours started clicking like some others.

yeah it does, its well loud with the windows down at low speeds and worse when slowly moving like parking.

Under what conditions do you hear this? I'll try to replicate them to see if I hear anything. Do you hear it when turning sharply— as in a U-turn? Or does the sound occur when simply going in a straight line? Do you hear it at all speeds, or just slow?

I'll give it some focus to see if I can perceive anything.

Its very loud just driving at 1-2mph and gets louder when turning on the side your turning to up to 15-30mph, it reduces in speed the faster you go, till i think it stops all together but obviously the road noise is loud then too
