The term Staggered refers to running two pairs of wheels with differing widths on either end of the vehicle. For example, you may want to run an 8.5' wide wheel in the front while running a 10' wheel in the rear. This can be done to increase traction in the rear by increasing the contact patch, but will also provide a dramatic contrast when running deep dish wheels.
APEX light alloy wheels are the next evolution in flow-forged wheel technology for BMWs. Flow-forming is a semi-forging process that produces a wheel typically stronger than a traditional cast wheel yet is still light weight. The wheels are around 10lbs lighter per wheel than a comparable factory wheel! That's reduced unsprung weight that improves all aspects of performance. The spokes and barrel have been designed to allow generous clearance for big brakes. In other words, these wheels are very impressively engineered and look great too! As well as being pleasing to the eye these are very strong and functional wheels that are at home on the street as well as the racetrack. Don't let the price fool you - these wheels are high quality, high strength, and in high demand. Spring Line Forged wheels from Apex Wheels feature: Side-milled spoke design to cut out excess material and gain wider and deeper spokes. Reinforced critical structure points to add inner lip strength and increase load rating. Weight optimized to balance strength and maintain a lighter design. Independently tested for rigorous JWL standards based on duration, impact, and total loading. High clearance barrel design for Big Brake Clearance. Paintless Knurled Beads that keeps your tire from slipping with sharp and maximized grip! Impact Socket friendly to support oversized race lugs and faster wheel changes with impact sockets. Laser-engraved specs to easily identify your wheel collection at home or in a hurry at the track! On top of all of these benefits that focus on the best user experience possible Apex Wheels goes one step further. These forged wheels are always hub centric and built for your select vehicle application, made to fit TPMS sensors and OE center caps to get a factory look with improved performance.

Wheel Specifications Style: SM-10 Size (Front): 18x9" ET30 Size (Rear): 18x10" ET25 Color: Race Silver APEX light alloy wheels are the next evolution in flow-forged wheel technology for BMWs. Flow-forming is a semi-forging process that produces a wheel typically stronger than a traditional cast wheel yet is still light weight. The wheels are around 10lbs lighter per wheel than a comparable factory wheel! That's reduced unsprung weight that improves all aspects of performance. The spokes and barrel have been designed to allow generous clearance for big brakes. In other words, these wheels are very impressively engineered and look great too! The design is based on classic motorsport themes that blend with BMW styling and appearance. These wheels look right at home on many BMW models. Multiple color and profile options allow you to set just the right look and stance for your car. As well as being pleasing to the eye these are very strong and functional wheels that are at home on the street as well as the racetrack. Don't let the price fool you - these wheels are high quality, high strength, and in high demand. All APEX wheels are the BMW standard 5/120 bolt pattern and with a 72.6mm center bore. They are a direct fit to most any 3-series (E36, E46, E90, E92, F30), Z3, and Z4-series BMWs. The original BMW center cap, TPMS sensors, and original lug bolts are all carried over from your original wheels (wheel bolts may vary if spacers are used). They come in a wide variety of diameter, width, and offset combinations which gives you multiple fitment and application opportunities. For street use we generally recommend a staggered setup with a rear wheel slightly wider than the front. For track and racing applications a square setup is desired with the same width in the front and rear. Wheel offsets may also vary based on the clearances and stance you wish to achieve. Refer to our image gallery for inspiration. If you'd like more input give us a call or e-mail and we'd be happy to go over the many options with you. Note: careful consideration of wheel width, offset and tire sizing must be observed when choosing and installing larger wheels. Adding larger wheels may lead to rubbing on suspension components or bodywork. Wheel spacers, new alignment settings, inside fender modifications, or other adjustments may be required.
