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 1-series (E82), 3-series (E36, E46), 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.

BBS 16" Style RG 527 SK Wheels combine decades of race-proven quality and precision German engineering with a striking, timeless design. Crafted using advanced manufacturing techniques, these wheels are designed to offer an exceptional balance of strength, durability, and lightweight performance. Built with a forged construction, the BBS RG 527 SK wheels stand out as some of the finest two-piece wheels available on the market.

Forging aluminum under extreme pressure results in a wheel that is both robust and light. BBS engineers optimize wheel properties with FEM analysis even before the forging process begins, ensuring top-notch performance. The back-milling technique further enhances the strength-to-weight ratio, providing increased stability without adding unnecessary weight.

Finished in a stunning silver paint with a diamond-cut lip, these wheels are designed to exceed OE manufacturer specifications for longevity and durability. A protective clear coat layer ensures they stay looking pristine and are easy to maintain.

Benefits:

• Lightweight Forged Construction: Offers increased strength without the added weight, enhancing vehicle performance.
• Race-Proven Quality: Designed and engineered with cutting-edge technology for maximum durability and performance.
• Back-Milling Process: Optimizes weight distribution while maintaining structural integrity.
• Stunning Finish: Silver paint with a diamond-cut lip for a sleek, eye-catching appearance.
• Durable and Easy to Maintain: Exceeds OE standards with a protective clear coat for long-lasting shine and easy cleaning.
