I don't understand the lack of responses on these....are these priced to high? They cost $1350+ ($400 savings) and are so popular they are sold out from Apex till sept. They are in perfect condition. Some guy on here is selling his for $450 MORE and they look like they went through a meat grinder and people are responding like crazy. I dont get it....

These are hard to get, gorgeous, mint, strong as heck, 18lb wheels for $400 savings and nobody wants them?!

I'd be all over them if they were staggered. ..8.5 and 9.5

I think they're priced fairly.

Price is great, can't pick them up though

Im sure you would get more buyers if you were willing to ship.

[the1andonly]

I might be able to get my BMW guy to ship these out if i give him $50 or so. Would anybody be interested if I shipped these? shipping will be around ($200-$250).

Also as a bonus, I rubber protective coated these a few weeks ago a matte gunmetal grey to protect the original wheel finish from elements and chips to keep them pristine! the dip just easily peels right off like a protective rubber coating and wheels will be flawless underneath. This will also keep them protected during shipping.

a la Plasti Dip?

I guarantee you the reason they are not selling is because they are not staggered, and that rear offset of 45 scares people off. When I sold mine a while back, although I had the 8.5" front and 9.5" rear, everyone was still hesitant because I actually had the E46 M3 specific front wheels and the offset on them was 38 not the 45 for the 1 series specific wheels.

thats interesting. I think staggered gives an ever so slightly better visual stance but it doesn't outweigh the benefits of being able to rotate tires at all 4 corners. i also thought it offers a more balanced ride.

Why are u selling? Any problems with the wheels?

Right on point people who race want a square set, people going for looks want a staggered set up. I would jump on theses because it is at a great price but I already have a set of track rims. Have you looked into shipping them through grey hound? It's fairly cheap for shipping rims. The only down fall is that the buyer would have to drive to his/her nearest grey hound station to pick them up.

Zero problems, these are perfect. I would never screw over a fellow forum member I've decided to either turn my car in lease end (oct) OR buy EC-7s for a different look.

Wanna split the set? I need a pair only and you can buy the 9.5" separately

They're not sold out... I can place a order for it from the apex racing website right now in hyper black (18x8.5 ET45) for $1216.42 shipped to my door... (not tax since they only charge it in Cali...)

Ummmm I posted that almost 2 1/2 months ago...did it occur to you that they may have gotten more in stock since then? Regardless mine havnt been used since I posted this and are an infinitely better deal that buying new plus tax.

sorry, just saw this at the top of the sub forum and thought it was new. just saw that it was from august to post yesterday lol.

Pics of the actual wheels would probably help, if you have them. I've always been curious how much darker the Hyper Black is compared the OEM silver (Hyper Black is a terrible color name, IMO).
