1 series need for prototype wheel test fitment (BAY AREA)

Eddy@ApexWheels · 09-18-2009, 04:29 PM

We're looking for two 1 series vehicles to be used for a prototype wheel test fitment and photographs to show off proper fitment. One of the cars should be bone stock. The other car MUST have camber plates and coilovers.

No drive testing besides parking lot driving needs to be done as we do not have a complete set. Just want to check for rubbing.

We have a single front and rear wheel. Wheels are 18x8.5" et38 and the rear is 18x9.5" et62. This is a track oriented setup, allowing the most rubber in the rear possible due to the correct 1 series offset. We have 7 tire sizes at our disposal for testing.

This would be done sometime next week most likely.

These wheels are in relation to the wheels being developed for a GroupBuy as seen in the wheel/tire section and commercial section.

FYI: we are also looking for an e92 m3 to test out our 18x9.5 and 18x10" track setup.

I'm out in Livermore, Pleasanton CA. So that would be a bit of a drive for you. I really appreciate the offer, but I wouldn't want you to have to come out all this way just for an hour. Thanks!

Livermore 94551 / Pleasanton area is where the testing/photos would be done. It would be perfect if we could use your car for testing. As we need to see what some negative camber upfront will help in terms of tire clearance.

Let me know if your in this area.

I'm In Union City buy i have H&R Springs on. Lmk.

Im in San Francisco, stock other than a tune. Do we get any money, beer or food if we do it! :-p

MtDiablo · 09-21-2009, 02:35 PM

I have a stock 135i in Danville if you need it.

That would be perfect. I live in Danville, but we would most likely be doing the test fitment at the new Performance Technic BMW shop that is opening in Pleasanton. They should have some room for us to mount wheels. We can't do it at my house anymore since i took my floor jack to my Livermore place.

MtDiablo · 09-22-2009, 09:15 AM

Sounds good to me. Sent you a PM.

they open Oct 1st. There's supposed to be a big grand-opening car meet being held there sometime mid October

Eddy@ApexWheels · 09-29-2009, 03:45 PM

I don't have anyone confirmed for testing that is local and has camber plates.

Eddy@ApexWheels · 09-30-2009, 10:06 PM

still looking for camber plates, but a car on just springs or coilovers could work for now as well.

Here are the results from testing on the stock car

woodman650 · 10-04-2009, 03:26 PM

stock... except for the performance exhaust... gah, trim those pipes down!

BrokenVert · 10-04-2009, 03:33 PM

Ohh so you were just test fitting the Apex track wheels. You couldve said that from the beginning.

They do look a lot nicer than I thought they would tho.

ichiban · 10-04-2009, 03:47 PM

you guys should contact br racing. their shop car has ast 5300 and vorshlag camber plates. I know they were looking for a set of wheels that'll let them put bigger tires up front. (they're looking for a square setup to combat the understeer)
