18" Wheels????

Has anyone else noticed that 18" wheels seem to be far harder to find than a 19" set to fit our cars? Other than Apex a few BBS it sure seems to me most wheels are 19"! I still am looking for that 18" set of black track wheels.

Are you looking for light weight?

Besides, Apex, forgestar, SSR etc there isn't much to choose from for <$1,500 new if that's what you're saying..

Or buy OE (E92, E46, E85) and paint/powder coat/plastdip them black.

+1 to that.

Strong, Light, Cheap. Pick 2! Sadly applies to most wheels...

We do have specific M coupe fitment ARC-8 and EC-7 wheels offered in a Satin Black color option.

Here are some examples for you.

I'd like to get a set of ARC-8 in satin black but I was told they are out of stock for a few months.

enkei nt03 wheels are light weight and good for track, but only seen them on a blue z4 so far. also i've always liked the 5zigen fn01rc, they're cast wheels but REALLY light weight. great for track too, but never seen any of them on a bmw yet. had 2 sets of those on 2 of my previous cars. if anyone have enkeis or 5zigen wheels please post some pics!
