Hey guys, I'm having trouble finding wheels that will fit this thing that are light and look good in the correct sizes. With that being said, Apex Wheels makes some awesome wheels for the BMW trackday/autox crowd that I think would be awesome on an 818. Only problem right now is that they don't make their wheels in anything that fits our car. I spoke with them today and they said they would need 25 orders in the same size to justify a custom order. I know that's a lot of people to commit to a wheel, but I thought it may be worth the effort.

So for now, I'm trying to see if there is interest in pursuing this. If so, I'll get more details from them in regards to the size and costs. For now, here are some examples:

17x8.5 ARC-8; 17.2 lbs; $250

18x9 ARC-8; 18.65 lbs; $299

18 x 9 EC-7; 21 lbs; $299
