This is the groupbuy everybody's been asking for. No limit on minimum members. Just a cut off date of May 14th.
Sign up and save. This averages out to $276 per wheel with free shipping. There is no other wheel on the market that can compare to the ARC-8 wheel for the amount of rear tire fitment it provides. Some wheel manufactures are starting to replicate our fitment, but be weary of company's that claim to be JWL and VIA when they are in fact NOT. Don't fall for false advertising that can put you at serious risk. Our wheels exceed the JWL standard and they are truly VIA certified and tested in Japan. We have the certificate numbers to back these statements up, and can we can be found on VIA's online registry database. |

Hey Eddy, we spoke a few weeks back, was never able to catch up but do you have an option for ARC-8's for 128i's in 17 inch fitment? The offsets look like they will clear without camber plates? Looking for a stock wheel that I can autocross with.

We have a 17" wheel that is 17x8.5" et40 arriving in about 3 weeks. I know others have run a similar setup for autocross use, but with 245's all around it would still need camber plates to clear the front fenders. a 235/40/17 all around would work, but it would still benefit from the extra mods.

The 18x9" wheel cannot be run in the rear, it is too aggressive and will not fit properly. The 9.5" wheel fits with great ease in the rear. No modifications are needed. A 265/35/18 street tire will fit with no problems. |

275/35 is the widest street tire we recommend. Wider sizes could need spacers and fender rolling. 265/35/18 street tires are the only thing we are confident will fit without issues from brand to brand. There's no fitment we can outright guarantee will fit, although every 265/35/18 street tire should have no issues, and you can go off of the experiences of other members and what 275/35/18 street tires have worked for them. |
