So, will the 18 x 9.5 eta 35 not clear a BBK with the present Arc 8? It implied there were issues with some.

Very nice...can't wait to see what they look like on our cars. At least there's lots of interest so that we can probably get a GB going...

Hopefully someone will post a weight as soon as they find out. Anything under 19lbs, otherwise I will stick with the arc-8's.

So, will the Arc8's 18 x 9.5 eta 35 not clear a BBK? It implied there were issues for some offsets. Does anyone know?

Just talked to Eddy. The wheel will weigh around 2lbs heavier due to design to get around some bbk's and due to being beefed up for heavier cars. Beautiful wheel but I will stick to arc 8's for weight savings.

Good info. I kinda read between the lines with all the emphasis on durability, and the ARC-8 is a simple and functional design whereas these have a little more to them. I'm still in for a set of 18's!

I just created an official thread for the EC-7 wheel which includes photos of the other face profiles. That thread will be used as a technical discussion of the fitments as we do testing. It's a more organized place for discussion as we can update the first post with new details as they become available.

Please use the other thread to further your discussion http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthre...1#post11866406

We've been bombarded with questions, but we will answer them soon.
