ARC-8 Alternatives? ECS/APEX continually pushing an order back.
So back in November, I ordered some staggered Arc-8's for my 135i during the ECS black Friday sale. Their site indicated that they were in stock at the time.
Then they pushed the front wheels back to end of December. Then end of January. Then February 11th. They just sent me an email saying they no longer have a date. They're simply "Backordered" I'm getting pretty frustrated here. I like the look of the wheels and the offset in the front is just about perfect. The rear is close, but I bought some 10mm spacers so that they sit the same in the rear. Are there any other manufacturers out there making some 18 x 8.5 ET45 (I think 44 would be better) and 18 x 9.5 ET48 ish that look like the ARC-8s? EDIT: I'd like to avoid spacers if possible. Thanks in advance.

That sucks. I just spoke to them two days ago and they said it was looking like 2/15 was when they would start receiving them.
I got the anthracite ARC 8's in an 18" square setup on order.

I'm with you. Mine are 18×8.5 et45.
Got the new TPMS sensors here just waiting on the wheels to show up. It's tough....but I know it will be worth the wait!

Hey guys, sorry to hear about the frustration caused by the delivery date being continually pushed back!
Both the Hyper Silver and Hyper Black finishes are actually on their way to our warehouse as we speak. As @Rmtt mentioned, we do expect these to arrive and ship out as early as 2/15, and as late as 2/22. Hold tight - they're on the way and you'll have them in your hands very soon! Please feel free to reach out to us at any time with any questions regarding availability. They'll be worth the wait indeed! --Dylan

Guess I should have waited for this vs. buying my wheels almost 6-7 weeks ago.
Still waiting for them to arrive. I ordered the ARC 8 in Anthracite with an 18×8.5 et45 fitment for all corners. Regardless....i see a ship date of late March for the group buy. Does this mean my wheels won't be shipping until then? I was told mid February....then late February. Have the dates been bumped out again? Last edited by Rmtt; 02-20-2019 at 08:24 PM.. |

I emailed Ron at APEX to ask him what the deal was. If in fact it will be late March now before we get our wheels, then I plan to cancel my previous order and get in on the group buy to save $100+.
But I wanted to know if that projected ship date was because of the Group Buy and they were biding time to get as many in as possible. If that were the case, I told him I didn't care about the Group Buy...I wanted my wheels as soon as they show up!

If they plan to go out no later than next week, then I am not concerned about the Group Buy and having to wait even longer. I just wanted clarification on how all of that worked. the sooner I can get them, the better. I'm sure that Soterios feels the same way.

ECS emailed me today to say my order was pushed back again to the 25th. I don't know if that means I'm getting them on the 25th, they're shipping them on the 25th, or if they're just getting the wheels on the 25th. I don't have my hopes up that I'll see these wheels before spring.

ECS emailed me with the 7th "Your order has been delayed" email. Now they're saying they'll get them on the 28th.
I'm worried that's just another placeholder date. I guess we'll see.
