Which Apex Wheels for Sedona Red 135i?

383backinblack · 05-18-2023, 12:16 PM

Hey all, I'm trying to decide on a new set of shoes for the 1-er. I'm sort of sold on the Apex VS-5RS but not sure on the color. Please excuse the shitty photos and hack photoshops. I think these both work (maybe even light satin gold ��?).

Might be worth PS'ing the other colors. For my car (if I had Sedona red) it'd be anthracite or bronze, most likely. In the end it's what you like best!

So I did this, and it was a mistake ... because the answer is DEFINITELY bronze. But, Apex said there is NO WAY I'm getting this fitment in that color

Oof.

Yep bronze. Buy em and have em powder coated locally.

Yeah, it's an option. I didn't have great luck with that in the past, but that was a different car, different wheels, and maybe the company didn't know what they were doing. A bunch of it flaked off the first time I changed tires. That doesn't seem to be the norm so it's probably fine.

I'd consider Arc-8 or some other Apex option. Or though I am a fan of Apex wheels perhaps even a different brand.

I like the dark color best, especially due to you tinted windows. Bronze is second to me. For sure I would not go with the local powdercoat thing.
