WTB: Apex Arc8's or VMR VB3 CSL reps

[UdubBadger]

I need a set of 4 wheels for summer. I'm looking for black, anthricite or possibly hyper black, not interested in silver unless price is cheap enough for me to have powdercoated and still come out same price as a good used set.

Must be 18" and must be staggered set up

Also not looking for something torn up that needs reconditioning unless you're willing to fix it first and sell them at a fair price. I'm even willing to pay upfront. I just don't have the time or means to get anything repaired myself.

Don't need tires.

post or PM

Thanks

Just a FYI..............have been waiting for Apex to run a GP on 18.5 squared, and just sent them another email. Am hopeful that we can get one going soon. I would assume that they would also have these in a staggered set as well. I will keep you posted.

[UdubBadger]

I want used though. I will buy new VB3's if I can't find used APEX or VB3's, since they are the cheapest. Saving $ is the name of the game here.

:rofl

[nike001]

May I ask why you're so set on staggered?

[UdubBadger]

cuz I have tires already left over from my 135i

225 and 265 widths so putting those on the same size rim will not work very well

[UdubBadger]

I lied, 235/265

[UdubBadger]

Anyone have or seen anything?

I have OEM M3 ZCP wheels I am considering selling, don't know if they would be in your price range, but I run the same size tires in them.

Edit: disregard, my are 19s. Just read the first post

I have a 18x8.5 square set of VB3s i'll sell for $550 (mild rash). But....not staggered.

good luck with your search.

[UdubBadger]

Almost brand new conti dw summers. I'd never see back what I paid and they're barely worn in. Plus 18s and 19s are expensive tires new. I also kinda like having a nice wide 265 in back

Chicago VB3s Seth. Gun metal $1100 with tires, maybe ask him to take the tires off and sell. 18" Staggered

[UdubBadger]

thx

[nike001]

Those are 1er fitment though, right? Their offset will be crazy high.

[UdubBadger]

1er fit should be ET 40 front ET 45 rear which is same as e46, no?

[nike001]

Oh okay. I thought I remembered you telling me about 1er offsets were in the 60's or something.. because you were going to try and fit your old ones on your ZHP.

ET40 & ET45 is lower than stock M135's.. so you're doing well.

[UdubBadger]

That's on the apex arc8s to fit wider tires in the rear

I have a set of staggered, 18" VB3's that I have been meaning to refinish and paint over the winter...
They are currently silver, but I can paint them to whatever... or just repair them... and let you powder coat them. Just an fyi- I have been lead to understand that powder coating is not good for wheel, which makes sense. When you heat the wheels to the temps needed for powder coating, you essentially lightly anneal the aluminum alloy in the wheel, causing it to be softer and bend easier. This is mostly a problem with high end wheels like BBS since you are paying for the hardness of the alloy.

Anyway, PM me if interested in discussing prices. I planned to paint them black for use on my car this summer, but I am open to other plans.

I'm going out to my car to get my camera with pics of my vmr's. When I had them out while cleaning them my wife was like "ohhh, I like those, can we put them on my car?"

So, I better get rid of them or I'll get stuck refinishing them for my wife's 323i.

Too shiny for my taste

[danewilson77]

VB3's in gunmetal would be my choice.

[UdubBadger]

my only fear is that they'll be too close in color to the silver grey paint and I don't like the thought of that. I wanted something darker. Would possibly powder coat them in the future.

[UdubBadger]

Looks like I'm gonna have to buy new ones

Which did you decide on Seth?

[UdubBadger]

Waited. Praying on some used ones to pop up cuz my wife just told me she wants to quit her job now... I can't be spending $900 on wheels if that's the case. Even a $500 set is a bad investment but my summer tires won't fit the 135s properly.

Help!
