I got a set of F22 340mm calipers off eBay and test fit them last night with my kosei K1s. That wheel is 17x8.5 et40. I think apex sells an arc-8 in the same specs. Anyway, I want to say they actually fit better than the e90 330i calipers. Pictures attached. I love the look of the wheels so I’m glad I can hang onto them.

Looks great. Got a link to those wheels?

Tire rack is the easiest place to get them. $199 each. If you search for e46 or e36 17” wheels they’ll come up in silver or black.

I’d also search your local FB and CL listing because they’ve been around for years and are popular with e36 guys. 16lbs each is hard to beat!

Want to see if I can squeeze the 370mms on an 18in wheel 🤞🏼
I just threw them on quickly to see if they’d fit and took them right off. When I do the full install I’m planning (MC + 328i RR calipers) I’ll get the picture you’re asking for. That said, I think I’ve seen that the 370mm are ok in 18s around the forum.

Yeah Kosei K1s are cool wheels that have been around forever.

Just be aware that if you track the car and enjoy using all the curbing on the track, that you can crack the spokes. Always a good idea to clean and inspect wheels after a track weekend.

For sure. I cracked one at my last event but it happened in this autoX/drift course the organizers set up in the parking lot. Lesson learned. I bought a set of apex wheels for next season but I’ll keep running the koseis on the street.

I have a 128i, and I am looking at getting a set of F3x front brakes. What would be a good rear brake setup to match the F3x brakes? I want to keep my parking brake if at all possible.

I believe I posted my setup in this thread. Pretty sure it’s 328i rear calipers. They have a couple mm larger piston. But that’s the most you can do without changing the hand brake.
