Pics of Sparkling Graphite with ARC8

I'm trying to decide if anthracite or hyper black would be the best choice with my sparkling graphite. I would appreciate any pictures you can share.

Thanks,

John

Hey John,
Good luck trying to get an apex arc 8 in hyper black from Apex. I have been trying to order some for about 8 months now. However to answer your question I believe hyper black would be the better color to go with as it would offer a nice
contrast to the color of your ride. Check out the new VMR V810 as an alternative to your arc 8's if they don't have the stock you're looking for.

Just my $0.02,
-Ray

Ordered Hyper black at a good discount during black friday and had no issues.

Not a 1-series, but a SG e92 with Anthracite ARC-8's:



Here is a SG 1-series on Anthracite EC-7's:

Ray, I'll be in contact with you very soon with some news.

This is due to your 1M front end conversion, as the front Hyper Black ARC-8 1-series wheel (18x8.5" ET45) is currently out of stock, while the rear wheels are available. Because of your 1M front end conversion, you were able to purchase the 18x9.5" ET22 front wheels, which were available and the proper fitment for your particular car.
