Cool Mark! Options suck. We should have only one car available too. And one jean company. Only Hanes undies, etc. Your mentality is solid.

Clearly these aren't for you. As I said -- some of us run bigger brakes than stock and need / prefer running 18s.

17x9.5 is the size I want and there are only 1-2 wheels that come close to fitting our cars in this size.
17x9.5 ET52 with 275 wide tires and a 12-15mm spacer up front. Problem is, this is not exactly a square setup. Realistically you need to run 17x9.5 ET30 F:R but that requires cutting and flaring the rear fenders to work. That is what I plan to do. Flare the rear with some 1" or 2" flares. 18" tires are significantly more expensive than the same tires in 17" sizes. 18" wheels also require lower profile tires like 30 series to maintain the same tire diameter... 18" also weighs more. All of this offsets any placebo effect you feel from a shiny expensive BBK. Last edited by bbnks2; 02-05-2018 at 09:51 AM.. |

I am frequently amused by folks who put ginormous brakes on the car for either street use, or don't bother to duct the car or run a reasonable pad choice for the weight of the car. I guess those don't look very cool.

Apex or bust then? Or did you find other good options. I've been looking.

If you want to spend more for a stronger wheel and are interested in doing an 18x9 square setup like I ran, I was going to go for these if I kept the stock fenders on the car. 18x9 +45 squared. http://enkei.com/shop/wheels/nt03rr/

The bimmerworld TA16s look pretty compelling for narrowbody cars. Most of the same ARC 8 sizes and offsets. The 17 inch options even look like they can accommodate a 355mm ST60. Also becoming super popular among grassroots racers. The majority of BMWs at the 25hr thunderhill enduro were on the TA16s
This post sounds like an ad but there are so few options for our cars, and these are pretty cheap for a forged wheel |

I run 1M front fenders and am converting the rear to full 1M spec as well. Will be running 18x9.5 +20 Volk ZE40s for a bit, but considering having some Fikse wheels built in 18x10 +25
