PHOTOshoot APEX Wheels

Route 16 · 03-17-2014, 01:53 AM

PHOTOshoot APEX Wheels: TiAg E90
Decided to shoot my current set up.
APEX hypersilver concave
18x9.5 ET 35 w/ 3mm spacer ET 32 (225/40/18 Nankang NS-20), I need to at 10mm in the future.
18x10.5 ET 27 w/10mm spacer ET 17 (265/35/18 Nankang NS-20)
Fronts are rolled, rears are shaved, removed a lot of the fender liner where it rubs, but I am not rubbing at the front but the rear fenders at awkward angled driveways.
Camber -1. and rear -1.8, like 0.21 toe.
My car looks to high to me, so I'll lower it a bit after I get some bumpstops.

Nice wheels and such pretty pics!

MonacoBlueE90 · 03-17-2014, 02:37 AM

Really nice

. You should put 12mm to front. it has better fitment over the wheel hub. Some 10mm are known to have issues.

for telling all the specs etc... at first post.

nice ride OP

1) Car is is at perfect ride height - any lower would look to silly plus you've got that splitter up front so you wouldn't to tear that off.

2) Why Nankangs? Shitty tires much? Literally a bunch of other quality tires out there from Hankook, Bridgestone, Dunlop, BFGoodrich, and Michelin. Just saying - tires are the most important thing.

Now your ride looks HELLA Clean!

Riick · 03-17-2014, 09:41 AM

Too much offset. If you want to pull that look off you can't do it with $500 rims, $200 tires with $20 ebay lugnuts. Looks cheap/mexiflush.

Yeah I didn't want to keep posting specs over and over. If I could find 12mm that would be fine too but verstrabe spacers is what I prefer because of the design and weight.

It's actually clears a lot of the areas I drive 99% of the time so I'm ok with about half an inch lower and added bumpstops will be a plus. I'm not too crazy to damage the front lip.

I had nankangs on my previous set of wheels so I just swapped them over, it's been less than a month since I had the tires. It's not as bad as I thought with these, nice tread pattern, quiet, the wear I'm not sure yet, performance ehhhh so so but it's good enough for a daily driver. But Nitto Invos would be next on my list.

I'm a navy brat and lived in japan for over 10 years, that road pretty much connects to all the us military bases there.

chatch10 · 03-17-2014, 12:45 PM

Off topic, but what did you do to the rear diffuser? Is it just finished in gloss black? Just asking because I'm looking at that exact look you have with it. Thanks!

rr006rbc · 03-17-2014, 12:46 PM

Goodness titanium silver looks terrible..silver anything looks terrible lol.

Initially it was the regular matte black finish then I asked JGmods to paint it black sapphire metallic. Give it some shine and gloss. Looks good in the sun.

koreez88 · 03-17-2014, 12:50 PM

Remids me of my old car: I also had a silver e90 with 335i style exhaust, apex rims, and performance front.

Some Euro - Xenons or LCI lights would finish off the look nicely.

I remember thinking of getting your set before. LCI lights will probably be here by end of the week or next week.
