Least Expensive Track Rims in 18x10 and 18x11

[slavearm]

Guys,

I am trying to find a decent set so I can run my beloved NT-01s in 275/35/18 and 305/35/18. There are a lot of custom wheel manufacturers out there, but since I am only using these for track, I only care that they are strong and light. Could be ugly as butt implants on an asian chick, as long as it meets the other criteria. I have been looking around, but everything is pretty pricey.

Thanks!

Apex wheels

I appreciate your quick reply. Apex does not make any rear wheel with close to the offset necessary. Nor does it seem like they will have anything soon.

Sorry you didn't say anything about offset but I should've known. If it makes a difference I plan on running the same size tires but r888's and I'm working with 18x9.5 and 18x10.5

I had similar requirements to yours in 19", I went with CCWs as I had their wheels many times before and trust their durability. Full set was $3600.

I guess VMR makes wheels in those sizes also but it seems you'll have to wait for some in the 18" range.

You may be able to find used TE37 styles for under $3k. I saw someone selling TE37 RT (I think that's the model name) in 18" with BMW M3 offsets. Pretty sure they're still for sale. Here is the link:

I actually love those rims, but the back offset is just not going to fit. I think I need something in the high 30s to low 40s for that to fit. Thanks for the reply.

I am a fan of the EC-7s, but nothing 10.5 and above with even close to the right offset.

Definitely one of the options I am considering. I did not want to blow that big of wad for just track rims though...

This M4 has 18x10.5 +20 rear, seems to fit just fine? Not sure what tire sizes though

[mshab356]

I think I've seen that offset or close to it fit on F82 before. I'll double check.

[m3z]

^^^tires sizes on the psi m4 are 275/35 and 285/35

[slavearm]

That car is gorgeous. I heart TE37s so much. If I were going to run that size though, I could just pick up a set of stock 18s.

Well... looks like I am going BC Forged RS40s 18x10 and 18x11 matte black. There is a pretty sweet group buy on Pyspeed.com right now if anyone else decides they want to go this route. Thanks for all the input.

The price in the description is $4400 MSRP. That doesn't match the title of the GB of $1,000.

*UPDATE* It looks like the deposit is $1,000 but the price before the GB is $4400.

Currently there are 11 people in the group buy so it is 800 off of that. If 2 more people join before the end of the month, it goes down another 400 for a total of 1200 off of 4400, or 3200 for custom forged rims. Ideally, it would get 1 more tier down and make it 1600 off. Smoking deal.

Apex or VMR are probably the best for budget.

[slavearm]

I contacted both. Neither had 18x10 and 18x11 fitments for the F82 yet.

Apex has an 18X10 ET25 that fits with no spacers but that is the widest they have right now.

The other trick to the PSI M4 is that they have a huuuge amount of camber to stick the tire under the well. Stock, we have nowhere near that option and could never run that offset.

Mostly looking here because of the Apex group buy, but I don't see anything that helps in the width department.

Forgestar will make the rims that you need.I have 10's & 11"s in 19 for myself.They are not much more than the Apex wheels.

THANKS!
