BMW Wheels - Genuine & Performance for BMW 3 Series F34 (2014+)

APEX EC-7 19" Staggered Wheel Set -- 19x8.5" / 19x9.5"

This set of 8.5" and 9.5" ARC-8 wheels is an easy staggered fitment for the E46 M3 and Z4M models. These are a direct fit with no spacers or fender rolling required. We use an 8.5" ET35 on the front and a 9.5" ET22 on the rear. These are only slightly wider than the stock sizes. The rear wheels have a deeper curve to the spokes than the front wheels, emphasizing the RWD chassis and adding some muscularity to the stance.

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.

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.

• For the very best in a race-grade wheel stud, stop looking! These are the wheel studs that our race teams insist on (after years of trying every stud design on the market). MSI Racing specializes in hardware for motorsport use (NASCAR and IMSA) and other advanced industries. We tried them on our Grand-Am/IMSA racecars and were very impressed by the performance and durability of their designs. Race wins and championships can come down to the seconds of a pitstop. We could run any wheel stud in the world and we use these. After testing them over the course of a few endurance seasons we decided to offer them to all of our customers as well.
  
  These studs are available in three overall lengths - 70.5mm, 80.5mm, and 90.5mm. All sizes are made with aircraft quality alloy steel and have roll formed threads for greater strength than cut threads. We use a dry film lubricant HM-30 coating containing Teflon & Moly over a manganese phosphate finish. Manganese is preferred over the more common zinc because it's better at reducing friction and wear to prevent thread galling. With the dry lube applied over the phosphate this is the best corrosion resistance we have seen in any wheel stud! Salt tests have shown this stud is superior to others in corrosion resistance. The dry lube helps the nut engage and glide over the threads for faster engagement without cross threading or binding. Other features of our MSI studs include a large bullet nose nut-starter and a properly sized shank to work with a wider range of BMW wheel, nut, and brake rotor combinations. We intentionally avoid the extra large shoulders you see on other studs because they can interfere with some brake rotor hats. The extra large shoulder can be too large to allow the rotor to pass through and drilling out the holes is required (not cool!) Our studs have the sufficient shank for the brake rotor without interfering.
  
  We configured these studs to have a 14x1.25 thread to go into the wheel hub. But the exposed stud has 14x1.5 threads. We did this because threading a nut is faster on 1.5 threads than a finer 1.25 thread pitch, which saved us time during pitstops. There are also more wheel nut options in 14x1.5. When you order our 14x1.25 studs make sure you also order the 14x1.5 nuts.
