Which wheels should I keep?

i2ichal2dZ4M · 02-27-2014, 08:32 PM

I'm considering freeing up some cash to get other mods since I don't track enough to justify having two set of wheels. I'm having a hard time deciding if I should stick with my volks or apex. HELP! Volks or Apex?

Psychodo · 02-27-2014, 08:52 PM

My initial response is keep the top pic. Got another view if the bottom?

Top looks better to me. Also, don't volks sell for a lot more? Seems like a win-win.

True, but Authentic Volks are relatively rare, especially on a Z4M.

Yep. Keep the Apex.

Based on all these replies, looks like my volks will be up for sell soon! just gotta clean them up and take some pictures.

What are the dimensions and offsets of your Apex wheels?

seank · 02-28-2014, 11:25 AM

For tracking Voks. For street, Apex's look better. They are also pretty light, and less expensive which makes them the better choice for your needs.

Since the TE37s arent concave at all, the ARC8s look alot better.

Walkurie · 02-28-2014, 02:56 PM

Keep the ARC8's. Free up a lot of cash to do other things.

ZeD4Mr · 02-28-2014, 03:09 PM

Volks not concave and to me, they don't really flow with the lines of Z4. They do look great with imports that has sharper, edgier lines and have a good resale value. Keep the Arc8. That's what I did but I'm also on the hunt for my street 19"s as well.

I really like the Apex wheel - a great look for these cars.

schwank · 03-01-2014, 10:00 AM

IId vote to keep the volks. everyone has the Apex / "csl style" wheels. it seems like one in four z4's with aftermarket wheels have some variation of them.

Apex…TE37's don't belong on a European car in my opinion. They look juvenile and tuner-ish.
