Apex Wheels

GPower · 11-05-2015, 11:23 PM

I really dig the ARC-8 in 19" for my car. Problem is I am afraid of the quality of these rims.

How about simple balance? Any vibration in the steering or the ride in general when you drive? Are they easy to balance? Do you get vibrations at high speeds?

Hi,

I don't think you have to worry. I don't know what you are used to but, they are of good quality. Aimed towards the track they are both light and can take some proper punishment. Balancing wasn't any problem at all for me. I think alot of people here can give alot more positive feedback since it's a quite popular wheel.

I have ec-7 on my car, couldn't be happier. I can really recommend them. Won't say too much about their delivery times though since I waited a year for my wheels......

Great wheels, no issues, have had ARC-8s (past) and EC-7s (current). Tracked both and used both on the street. Great wheels, light, strong, reasonably priced.

Also have had them for years with no issues (ARC 8's) but with 18" wheels.

I have been using Apex wheels for 7-8 years. They are a great wheel, very good price, and solid company to deal with.

I have also had 2 sets of Apex wheels on 2 different cars (ARC-8 and EC-7). I've had no problems whatsoever. I'm not sure why you would suspect that the quality is sub-par.

I'm just waiting for Apex to make some 20"s that I can put on my X5M. :-)

I've just had very bad experience with after market wheels. And I thought it's too cheap to be good. That's why I asked you. And I hate vibrations of any sort.

So problem is solved. I will invest in apex wheels. Let's move on to suspension mods.

Thank you guys

As far as getting them balanced, 2 wheels have 1 weight, the other 2 have two weights and 4 weights.
