    When do these ship?:

    CURRENT ETA: By April 6th
    This is a Pre-order Group Buy. Wheels do not ship the day after making payment like a traditional order
    All orders should ship by April 6th. 80% of order will ship before March 30th
    Some of these wheels are currently in production and scheduled to arrive at our facility the last week of March
    We will ship those out within 3 business days of container arrival
    Customs/Port delays can add an extra 1 week delay, but its rare
    We cannot guarantee an exact ETA date. Our estimates have historically been conservative and within +/- one week of our ETA date
    We will keep everyone up to date of even minor changes if they occur via this thread

    Finish Availability
    Finish availability will be offered on a first-come-first-serve basis
    We should have enough inventory to get every member their preferred finish
    We will let members know once a finish has been sold out

    How do I join? Payments and Sign-up info
    This Group Buy is now CLOSED

    Discount Tiers
    The price you pay at sign up is based on how many members are currently signed up
    At the close of the Group Buy, everyone's order/payment will be adjusted to the final discount tier reached
    Your card or PayPal account will be authorized for the going rate, and then charged for the final price reached (the lowest price)
    At the end, everyone pays the same price
    There is zero advantage in signing up at the last minute
    Early sign-ups promote others to sign-up, so don't sabotage your own discount

    Refunds
    There are NO refunds on Group Buy orders. Group Buys are special order, which is why payment is taken in advance
    Only replacement of defective, or mis-shipped products are available
    Members cannot change colors or sizes after receipt for Group Buy orders
    If you would like a traditional 30 Day return policy then we recommend purchasing at the retail price, and not via the Group Buy

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Wheel Details:

    Manufacturing process:
    All APEX wheels are flow-formed resulting in a light weight, track and street worthy wheel
    Flow-forming significantly reduces weight in the barrel by rolling the barrel out into it's final shape using large wheels/disks applying high pressure
    This step is the same step that monoblock forged wheels go through to shape their barrels
    By doing this, the flow-formed wheel's barrel has the same density and strength as the barrel of a fully forged wheel
    This significantly reduces rotational mass at the furthest point from the center, which is the most important weight savings area on a wheel.

    Strength:
    These wheels are fully JWL/VIA certified. Strength testing was done by the VIA in Japan
    Don't be fooled by competitors that claim to be certified, but cannot provide registration numbers
    There are vendors on this forum selling wheels that are not certified, yet they claim they are. Scary stuff!
    CLICK HERE to see all VIA registration numbers

    Misc.
    Comes with carbon-look APEX center caps
    Accepts OEM Roundel center caps
    Does not come with valve stems
    Installs using your factory lugs or a stud conversion
    Accepts all wheel spacers including 5mm while still remaining hub-centric
    TPMS compatible

    17x9 size is listed as ET42 so these are NOT the concave sets which are ET30 (I think) and therefore won't work in rear of E36. Concave wheels look better IMO but will only work in front of E36.

    I used to run 18x9.5 et35 in the rear, I think I can fit 17x9 et30.

    I'm also running a 18x9.5 et 35 with 255/35 rubber, a 17x9 et 30 should be easy with right rubber.

    Also looking for concave set of 17x9's

    Any chance we can throw these in the group buy?

    with 17x9s ET 42... what tire size could you fit on a E36? 245/35/17? whats recommended? 17x9s all round that is also.

    I have 18x9s right now, but the ride sucks, so im told downsizing to 17x9s will help alot since ill be added tire? is this true?

    es, 17x9 all around, 12mm spacer in front, none in rear. Correct sizes are 245/40-17 or as big as 255/40-17 with a basic fender roll in rear

    Why not hold out for a set of 17x9.5 +35s? Two birds, one stone. Sort of.
