When do these ship?: CURRENT ETA: February 13th This is a Pre-order Group Buy. Wheels do not ship the day after making payment like a traditional order All orders should ship by February 13th, many will ship before the 13th Some of these wheels are currently in production and scheduled to arrive at our facility the first week of Feb We will ship those out within 3 business days of container arrival Customs/Port delays can add an extra 1 week delay, but its rare We cannot guarantee an exact ETA date. Our estimates have historically been conservative and within +/- one week of our ETA date We will keep everyone up to date of even minor changes if they occur via this thread Finish Availability Finish availability will be offered on a first-come-first-serve basis Members will now have the option to select between 3 choices at checkout regarding their finish choice #1 Only accept the original finish choice If it's out of stock, the order will be automatically cancelled at the close of the Group Buy #2 Select an alternative finish choice If the first choice is no longer available, the order will be adjusted to the secondary finish choice If the secondary choice is also unavailable, the order will automatically be cancelled If for any reason you don't care what finish you get, please note that in the comment field at checkout We will determine adjustments at the close of the group buy based on one of two methods If the max tier is reached, then any finish adjustments needed would be based solely on order of payment received If the max tier is not reached, then orders will be adjusted in a way to maximize the number of participants, thus reaching the highest tier possible for the group as a whole In this second scenario, priority will be allocated to members ordering staggered setups of a low availability finish, in order to create the most sets possible #3 The option to wait until the first finish choice is back in stock If there is enough inventory, wheels would ship right away to these customers If it is out of stock, then the order will be back-ordered We have another huge batch of wheels that is almost complete, and they will be arriving in March Members who select this option will lock in their discount pricing and are guaranteed to receive their first finish choice This is ideal for those who can wait if needed, and are unwilling pick an alternative finish In previous Group Buys, all members would wait 4-6 weeks after the close date of the Group Buy to receive their wheels, so this format is not new We are looking at the same exact time line for the next large shipment arrival, and we'll have a much more accurate ETA date in a few weeks, so there will be no surprises How do I join? Payments and Sign-up info This Group Buy is now CLOSED Absolutely no late sign-ups will be accepted after midnight February 2nd Pacific time Discount Tiers The price you pay at sign up is based on how many members are currently signed up At the close of the Group Buy, everyone's order/payment will be adjusted to the final discount tier reached Your card or PayPal account will be authorized for the going rate, and then charged for the final price reached (the lowest price) At the end, everyone pays the same price There is zero advantage in signing up at the last minute Early sign-ups promote others to sign-up, so don't sabotage your own discount Refunds There are NO refunds on Group Buy orders. Group Buys are special order, which is why payment is taken in advance Only replacement of defective, or mis-shipped products are available Members cannot change colors or sizes after receipt for Group Buy orders If you would like a traditional 30 Day return policy then we recommend purchasing at the retail price, and not via the Group Buy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wheel Details: Manufacturing process: All APEX wheels are flow-formed resulting in a light weight, track and street worthy wheel Flow-forming significantly reduces weight in the barrel by rolling the barrel out into it's final shape using large wheels/disks applying high pressure This step is the same step that monoblock forged wheels go through to shape their barrels By doing this, the flow-formed wheel's barrel has the same density and strength as the barrel of a fully forged wheel This significantly reduces rotational mass at the furthest point from the center, which is the most important weight savings area on a wheel. Strength: These wheels are fully JWL/VIA certified. Strength testing was done by the VIA in Japan Don't be fooled by competitors that claim to be certified, but cannot provide registration numbers There are vendors on this forum selling wheels that are not certified, yet they claim they are. Scary stuff! CLICK HERE to see all VIA registration numbers Misc. Comes with carbon-look APEX center caps Accepts OEM Roundel center caps Does not come with valve stems Installs using your factory lugs or a stud conversion Accepts all wheel spacers including 5mm while still remaining hub-centric TPMS compatible Satin Black ![]() Hyper Black ![]() Anthracite ![]() Last edited by Eddy@ApexRaceParts; 02-03-2012 at 01:57 PM. |

To clarify: For Group Buy #6, you can only pick two wheels from the "front" wheel column, and 2 wheels from the "rear" wheel column. No square setups or other options are available. Group Buy #5 can be square or staggered from the 3 sizes listed, which is less applicable to most Z4M owners. updated feeler list Round #5 1. 99GREENM3- 18x9.5" ET35- Hyper Silver - Bimmerforums 2.

baldtyresid really like to jump on these sizes for the z4m.... are you sure these wont rub?? what tyre sizes are you thinking of running?? im am slightly concerned as i have a BBK, BUT im guessing the extra width will give me that space without having a physically lower offset if you get me... also OP im in the UK??? how much willing shipping run me?? and will i be able to get a discount on the actual wheels alittle further to offset some of the shipping costs, as im guessing you wont ship internation for free, or am i wrong!! drop me a pm if you prefur. edit; just seen this thread http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=543845 i guess this wont work for me.. i agree we need the 8.5 and 9.5 options for a track driven car.

Nope, that setup will not work with a stock Z4M. The front is waaaay to wide. Like already said the 18x9.5 et22 would be ideal for Z4M rear but not front. Anything above 9" in front is no brainer.

So, as that post shows, yes, you will probably experience a little rubbing if you lower your car and run it on the track. Here's some quotes from paintpro21 about these wheels, which is the info I was going off of: Quote:

I run -2.5 camber in the front. Not a stock setup. Going to run the 18x9.5 with 265 square r-compound tires for autoX. Yeah!

In the rear 18x9.5" ET35, 18x9.5" ET22 and 18x10" ET25 fit. There are pictures on this forum all 3 wheel sizes mounted on the rear of the car. 18x10" ET25 is ideal for the rear as it can fit with a 275/35/18, but you could also mount a 265/35/18 or 265/40/18 back there. The slight stretch on the 265's would match that of the 245's on the 9's aesthetically, and that would improve the rear fender clearance. The stock rear tire size is tall, so a 275/35 or 265/40 works well with that, and the 10" wheels provide the proper sidewall support needed for those widths. [QUOTERedDotRacer]Group #6 18x9.5 et22 (F) 18x9.5 et35 (R) Hyperblack Will this work on a z4mc stock setup with no rubbing?To me this would be best for having the concave look on both front and rear.[/quote] That combination would be mounted the opposite way (ET35 front and ET22 rear) as the perfect spacer free square setup. But 18x9.5" ET35 will not fit up front on a stock Z4M. Negative camber will be needed. Here's an 18x9.5" ET35 square setup (I'm not sure if rear spacers were used, it does not appear so). This car is using 265/35/18 Michelin Pilot cups all around. This is the ideal track setup for a modified suspension as it is the same setup that most E46 M3 guys use. And the Z4m and E46 M3 are very similar. By running ET35 front and rear, you can rotate, which significantly saves on tire life. ![]() ![]() ![]() Quote:
Because of your rear fitment concern, for your specific application I would run the following: 18x9" ET42 with 245/40/18 18x10" ET25 with 265/40/18 or 265/35/18 rear If it was my car, I would run 275/35/18's ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ Unofficial Round #5 Feeler List: 1. 99GREENM3- 18x9.5" ET35- Hyper Silver - Bimmerforums 2.
