Niche Apex 19" finally got them!

Hey you guys, finally got the wheels done, really happy with the fitment. Very aggressive. Feels nice and responsive. No more slippage on stock wheel at full burn due to increased HP and torque from Stage 3 Dinan tune! 150 miles driven so far, no rubbing or bottom out.

I kept the old BMW caps on them because I'm hoping the wife doesn't notice...or my ass is grass!

Stage 4 Dinan and big turbo next!

Big Props to Ian over at https://www.vividracing.com/
Was awesome to work with and get advice from on these babies.

Niche Monoblock Apex 19"
Front: 19"x8.5" et35 MPSS tires 235/35/19
Rear: 19"x9.5" et40 MPSS tires 265/30/19

Stock suspension, no spacers.

Thanks man, just wanted to do something different than a 10-20 spoke wheel you know? As well allows for a real nice clear view of the calipers and rotors which I love.

Very nice! Have you considered double slat grills? IMHO, they would be killer next to what you have already done.

Thanks. No rubbing issues so far in a week of driving. I do notice its "louder" though. Like when I'm driving down the same roads I use every day to go to work/home. It seems like large cracks or nooks in the road I can feel and hear allot more than before. Maybe just need to break the tires in, get a couple k miles under it. Not a show stopper by any means. just noticeable.

@batman33 Thanks, and no hadn't consider double slat, but that may not be a bad idea!
