Payments and Sign-up info This Group Buy is now CLOSED Discount Tiers The price you pay at sign up is based on how many members are currently signed up At the close of the Group Buy, everyone's order/payment will be adjusted to the final discount tier reached Your card or PayPal account will be authorized for the going rate, and then charged for the final price reached (the lowest price) At the end, everyone pays the same price There is zero advantage in signing up at the last minute Early sign-ups promote others to sign-up, so don't sabotage your own discount Refunds There are NO refunds on Group Buy orders. Group Buys are special order, which is why payment is taken in advance Only replacement of defective, or mis-shipped products are available Members cannot change colors or sizes after receipt for Group Buy orders If you would like a traditional 30 Day return policy then we recommend purchasing at the retail price, and not via the Group Buy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wheel Details: Manufacturing process: All APEX wheels are flow-formed resulting in a light weight, track and street worthy wheel Flow-forming significantly reduces weight in the barrel by rolling the barrel out into it's final shape using large wheels/disks applying high pressure This step is the same step that monoblock forged wheels go through to shape their barrels By doing this, the flow-formed wheel's barrel has the same density and strength as the barrel of a fully forged wheel This significantly reduces rotational mass at the furthest point from the center, which is the most important weight savings area on a wheel. Strength: These wheels are fully JWL/VIA certified. Strength testing was done by the VIA in Japan Don't be fooled by competitors that claim to be certified, but cannot provide registration numbers There are vendors on this forum selling wheels that are not certified, yet they claim they are. Scary stuff! CLICK HERE to see all VIA registration numbers Misc. Comes with carbon-look APEX center caps Accepts OEM Roundel center caps Does not come with valve stems Installs using your factory lugs or a stud conversion Accepts all wheel spacers including 5mm while still remaining hub-centric TPMS compatible Hyper Silver Hyper Black Anthracite Satin Black

Paintpro, in the beginning of this thread there is a statement that these wheels are not recommended for the 1 series.
Can you elaborate on that? |

Can you guys who bought post up some pics? After a lot of searching, I'm hardly finding any pics of 1ers on 17" ARC-8's and I'd like to get a better idea before pulling the trigger.
Thank you! |
