Can't go wrong with apex. Looks good.

I've stuck with the OEM tpms, but they do stick out a bit.

I may be wrong but I think you can go with shorter valve stems.

Nice choice ! I had ARC-8s previously on my Imola as well. I ran them on slightly wider wheels with wider tires. http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=525150
Loved them ! You went with much more conservative sizes/offsets.

Only 2 things I did not like about my hyperblack ARC-8s.
1. The colour was way too silver for my taste and I wanted a much darker wheel.
2. The front faces of the rim were very flat and I wanted something more concave.

That's interesting, the place that fitted the tires said they couldn't. Cana anyone clarify this?

I wasn't going to buy wheels. I was going to have my oem wheels refurbished in shadow chrome. So, I bought new tires and then the quotes were so high for the refurb I decided just to buy new wheels. Since I already paid for new tires and my car set-up is oem, I just went with the conservative set-up. I would prefer more of a dish on the front, but I don't want to add camber plates.
