Neal 545 Report post Posted October 22, 2021 I think the are one of the most “go to” track day rims for bmw owners in the USA . The forums are full of group buys. eg https://e46m3.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1720298 I wouldn’t say no to a set. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harper 551 Report post Posted October 22, 2021 ^ They are very popular wheels. Lightweight, even their non-forged line are strong and popular for track use. I would probably buy directly from apex if I was getting a set though. https://www.apexraceparts.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted October 22, 2021 Still stunned BBS and/or Enkei/OZ Racing haven't (successfully?) sued them to be honest. They are popular partially because they're well made and partially because it's the cheapest way to get a quality rep on your car if that's the look you want. They do seem to have gone balls-in with all of the offsets and dish they offer, in some cases to the point of ridiculousness in my mind. Nevertheless, they're well-regarded wheels.

Jacko 2157 Report post Posted October 23, 2021 SM10s are what Im looking at, bit scared of shipping delays/nightmare due to the current situation. Making it local companies problem seems to make some sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haggisman 35 Report post Posted October 23, 2021 I bought a set direct from apex, shipped them to kiwi shipping in the states (mainfreight) who shipped them here. Very happy with wheels but took an age to get here. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matth5 471 Report post Posted October 24, 2021 I bought a set through Speedfactor a few years back for my 335i. Price was similar to what it would be buying direct and using kiwishipping, but with less hassle as they dealt with the shipping and customs sh*t. They're popular for good reason - great quality and lightweight. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Process was 12 days door to door with. 8 days was the nz part of its journey. 4 days was getting hold of nz FedEx to pay duty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
