Volunteer Test Vehicles Needed for EC-7 Wheels

The EC-7 wheel prototypes are here in 13 sizes, 7 of which are new to APEX, so we are looking for a wide range of vehicles to test these wheels on. If you are willing to travel to Livermore (San Francisco Eash Bay) for some test fitting and photos, then please contact us. This is a great opportunity to see this new wheel design on your own car, and to confirm fitment.



Some wheels are made in specialty sizes/offsets that require specific modifications for proper installation, Below is a list of vehicles we are interested in, along with the required or preferred modifications for each vehicle type.

1 Series: camber plates required, BBK preferred

1 series: lowering springs only

E36 M3: camber plates required, BBK preferred

E36 M3: Camber plates required, front/rear fenders rolled/flarred to fit 18x10's with 285's

E46 non-m: camber plates required, BBK preferred

E46 M3: camber plates required, Brembo 380mm required

E46 M3: camber plates required, 355mm BBK required

E9X non-m: camber plates required, BBK required

E9X non-m: only lowered suspension.

E9X M3: Brembo 380 BBK required

Z3 M: camber plates required

Z4 non-m: camber plates required

Z4 M: camber plates required, BBK Required

Z4 M: lowering springs only


If you would like to volunteer please contact us at: info (at) apexraceparts (dot) com and title your email "EC-7 test vehicle".

No BBKs, and I have more than just lowering springs unfortunately, otherwise I'd help out

Looking at your mod list, your car would actually work. We'd continue to look for a car with a BBK, but having TCK's with plates allows for important testing of new offsets.

PM sent.

Lon, I think I am chosen as one of the Z4M's that's "close to stock", might be able to make it there on Friday afternoon, so maybe I'll see you there!
