MPSS in that size.

If it was 17 that would be sweet.. Oz racing or enkei

Actually, the Apex arc-8's are A LOT lighter. Not sure where you got your numbers, but I weighed them myself:

BMW style 264
F: 7.5x18 +49 25.4 lbs
R: 8.5x18 +52 26.4 lbs

Apex ARC-8
F: 8.5x18 +45 17.8 lbs
R: 9.5x18 +62 18.2 lbs

That's 31.6 lbs of wheel weight savings! I consider that a significant reduction in rotational mass.

I meant no Max Performance Summer tires are avail in 245/35/18.

Can someone post pictures of their 235/35/18 please?

I personally prefer the looks of a taller sidewall. Currently have 235/40-F & 245/40-R.
But I want to go up to 255/35 or 265/35 in the rear and want to see what would match for the front [diameter wise]

For anyone wondering. 235/40 barely rub on the oil cooler area. Only happens at full lock parking lot maneuvers and crawling speeds so I dont mind.
This is on M3 control arms and Perf. suspension on Alufelghen 18x8 18x9 [forgot the offset]
