MY NEW WHEELS! Apex ARC-8 with Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Str Spec Tires

Here are my new wheels, tires and KW v1 coilovers. They were just installed last week by VAC Motorsports in Philadelphia - a great bunch of guys.

18" Apex ARC-8 Wheels Staggered 8.5" / 9.5"
Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Str Spec Tires (235/40/18 // 265/35/18)

I'm getting the coilover heights adjusted this week - they settle down a little unevenly.

Sorry for the grainy Blackberry pictures

They look very nice. I love how light they are also.

Did you put TMPS on them?

The car looks great!

it was a tinny typo but the tire sizes are 235/40/18 and 265/35/18

Wheel weights for those interested are 18.45lbs front and 18.85lbs for the rear.

Yes - new OEM TPMS. Worked like a charm.

My one regret - the Dunlop Direzza's are quite noisy... I prefer the quieter PS2s....I've put on about 500 miles and really havn't needed the greater adhesion at all.

I would recommend the Hankook Ventus V12s they perform almost as well as the PS2 but at the fraction of the cost.
