i am looking for 18s or 19s for track use to hit spa, nordschleife, redbullring, anneau du rhin, hockenheim, etc...

Since you left out some KEY INFO on the first try... yes.. I wanted to make sure to find out other data points before wasting time offering information that isnt going to help.

since you think I " shouted the loudest" , and have nothing to contribute.. I'll just keep silent. *shrug*

Volk TE37 is very light, and good price to weight ratio. but the only thing is that they are too popular out here.

Aside from fitment.... most people are looking for the following in a track wheel

1- Lightweight
2- strong/durable/ must be able to survive curb duty etc
3- commonly available
4- relatively inexpensive

The reason for #3 and #4 is that if you do bend or break a wheel... you can find one either by buying new, or.. in the case of a discontinued wheel
(since most alloy wheel designs arent around for more than about 2- 4 years) one can find one easily for sale used without having to find a " unicorn".

Currently, Apex wheels fit all these boxes... much like some other Bimwad friendly track wheels in the past..

Revolution 5 spoke
Kosei K-1
D-Force LTW ..... (perhaps not at the top of the durability scale- Your mileage may vary)
OZ superlegerra
Team Dynamics Pro Race
SSR Competition
BBS RK ( and to lesser extent the RC, CH etc.... as these start pushing the price part of the equation)

Since you owned a set of Arc-8s... the 64K question that you havent answered yet or offered any insight on , is... Why did you sell your apex wheels?

well if its track dedicated… i'd run 18" and
you can never go wrong with te37sl

how ever BBS FI in 18" is sick also.. (like one of the M3 did to their car)
you can run it for daily as well… i'd always prefer one set for all uses.

agreed on those points (apart from #4 as that is really dependent on the individual person)..

i sold them because i didnt like the look of them. to be precise, it was 90% a visual thing, and 10% that i prefer to run a wider setup (they were 9,5x18 and 10,5x18 whereas i prefer 10" and 11" widths...

so i am basically looking for a setup that is 10x18/19 and 11x18/19, commonly available, strong, durable, and lightweight.
