2.5i non-M with APEX EC-7s and Michelin PSS (Photos)

ANUSTART · 03-23-2013, 07:18 PM

I've been lusting after the EC-7s after the first photos came out last year. So, over the winter started putting a setup together. Between the fine folks at APEX and here on Zpost, I was able to put together a great setup and looks and functions fabulously. Hopefully for those of us with non-M Z4s, this will be of some help. Here's my setup with photos.

Front
Wheels: APEX EC-7 18x8.5" ET35 Satin Black
Tires: Michelin Pilot Super Sport 225/40/18

Rear
Wheels: APEX EC-7 18x9.5" ET43 Satin Black
Tires: Michelin Pilot Super Sport 255/35/18

Also, I purchased new Huf/Beru RDV001 black valve stems. Our older Z4s didn't have TPMS sensors, but these valve stems install without the need of the sensors and look great. Excellent finish and really add a nice detail to the wheels.

Here's how it all turned out…

Looks great! Are you planning any suspension mods? A hair lower would make a big difference visually.

Definitely. Just indecisive on what to get. Coilovers are out of the question. Thinking Bilstein HDs or Konis. Leaning toward HDs. Already have Eibach Pro-kit springs.

The first thing that caught my eye when I looked at the the photos was the orange reflector. Ha!

Wait you have Eibachs, but not installed yet right? That stance looks stock to me...

Correct. Not installed yet. Soon, but not quite yet.

Thanks! Hopefully this will answer some of the questions for others that I had putting this together.
