Advan is a popular Japanese brand and some professional BMW racing teams use them. At $750/wheel, they're hardly "knockoffs". They're 5 lbs lighter per wheel than the OEM 18" which I see people track with often. I think they'll be satisfactory for now. I don't find Apex Arcs attractive.

Point taken about not even needing a pad upgrade but I know I need to do the fluid so I might as well just upgrade the pads and lines. Any recommendations for pads? I'd like to use them for street as well. Why do some folks swap?
