It's pretty much a direct copy of the BBS RC. The factory CSL wheel is in fact a variant of the BBS RC wheel as well. I used to have RCs on my E36 M3, one of my favorite wheels ever.

These are being produced, but if you guys want any say in the colors or a discount on the price, then the minimum number of people are needed. there is time for that to happen, and that can be found in the thread located in the commercial section.

Yeah, they are pretty much identical, minus the center cap. I love those wheels too. Very "BMW-ish". I think I've seen quite a few VW Jettas with BBS RCs on them too - with the center car. I wonder if they were delivered like that for a few years? Maybe it's just a common aftermarket wheel for those cars. I prefer it without the center cap, myself. |

Man Im SOOOO torn on these.
I really want a gunmetal rather than an anthracite. I know it's close, but I just can't get over the difference. Maybe more pictures would help sway me =P |

AND, nothing is set in stone. That is a 4x100 17x8" wheel. It's an unrelated project. If a group of people who pre-order all want the same color then anything can happen. You guys can have hot pink. it doesn't matter. There's just a minimum that has to be meet to do different colors. It's that easy |

Anthracite will technically have a tint of blue in it, here's where it comes from, blue coal.
All of the colors Apex is offering would look good on any color car. And there is nothing wrong with hot pink. |

The difference on a car is wider contact patch has more lateral stability.. so it handles better in the twisties. So, on your aircraft, you say the contact patch is dependent on the PSI and Width.. You're forgetting about payload in that calculation, which also pertains. We're all running close enough PSI to call it a wash. So the contact patch is the same size, just shaped differently, depending on the width of the tire. |

1. there is ZERO contact patch size difference between ANY tire combination that can be run on the 1 series unless you uselessly run them under inflated. Please read up on this. This is an indisputable fact. You're talking about three variables. vehicle weight and psi are the only to factors that change contact patch area. A 12" wide tire obviously has a contact patch double the length of a 6" wide tire, BUT half the width, thus equaling the same area. If one vehicle weights more then another vehicle or the tire psi is different THEN and only THEN will a rubber tire have more physical contact with the ground. Here is one of the many sites that discusses the physics of this subject. http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg2.html We're done with this topic as it is 100% unrelated to the production of light weight high offset wheels. If you want to talk about it more, please start a new thread. |

Hmmm...
We could have hot pink, you say? Nah i'm just kidding =P Idk I feel like the rims pictured above are lighter than what I'm looking for. I was asked to post a picture of what I wanted: I googled "Gunmetal Wheels" and the first link I came up with was this. Maybe the difference I'm perceiving is caused only by lighting in the shots? Honestly If I could pick any color I wanted I would really prefer a matte black like the VMR CSL reps come in, as pictured here. |

Take any tire and mount that on a wider wheel = BETTER TRACTION. Period.
With the proper offset wheel that Apex is offering, we can run a 9.5" in the rear. Wider tire Wider wheel Better traction No rubbing No fender rolling Better selection in tire brands That's a win, win, win, win, win, win situation! |
