apex wheels are legit. too bad they dont offer the EC7's for our cars or i woulda bought it. a lot of the e90 guys that track, use apex wheels.

I guess for track but wouldn't really use for street, it's ugly without some concave. The wheels are top notch though. Good find though.

yea they're pretty well known in the bimmer forums. im waiting for them to release a set of 17x9.5 wheel for our platform.

A friend of mine with an e46 M3 has Apex wheels as well.

Nice find. The dual-drill bugs me though, especially when they say it's designed specifically for this platform.

Krispeee · 03-31-2014, 07:38 PM

legit wheels in the bimmer world.

What offset are the ones listed? They don't look like the ordinary 17x9...

I swore they weren't as flat faced... probably mistaken them with their 17x9.5 +30.

My e46 M3 has these, I love them but the concave is so awesome

OICU812 · 04-01-2014, 10:20 AM

Ya that design just is very dry in a flat face is all. At least more options however so that's cool.

Here's link for anyone without google foo...

Damn, wish they had some concavity, but 17x9, 17.8 lbs., flow formed mesh Motosport style wheel. I'd rock it. I'm boring old school though.

Reminds me of this with the special Suby WRX BBS wheels. Although the apex 9" width makes it even better.

RPF1 is lighter and they are same price! They look completely different, though.
