I have recently picked up a 95 M3 that takes me back to all the fun I had in my first M3 and am trying to go a little bit of a different direction with this one. My other one was purely show and no go...(19" staggered Hartge's and a Reiger lip, big stereo and so forth). Now I want a street/track car setup. The car has adjustable Koni's paired with H&R OE Sport springs. That was the only mod done to the car when I got it. I have been having a hard time getting away from 19's because I love the look but I have been strongly considering the Apex ARC-8 in either a 18x8.5 and 18x9 staggered setup or a square setup. I was planning on changing the springs to the H&R sports also. Can you guys give me your opinions on the wheel choice, any suggestions, and good tire options. By the way I would like to track this as I said but have never been on the track yet and will only be driving the car on sunny days and weekends. Thanks for all your help.

What ever wheel you choose make sure you go non staggered. If you are going to go with 18X9 you are probably going to need spacers for the front and more negative camber front and rear. If you are really looking for the track set up then go with a 17X8.5 or 17X9 not 18".
I would recommend the Kosei K1 Racing in the 17X8.5 and 16.8 lbs at 175.00 each. They are a proven BMW track wheel. The TR Motorsport C2 at 19.8 lbs and 139.00 each would also be a good choice.
If I can help let me know.
