Great insights. And for everyone upgrading wheels on F22 or F30 please, go for 18. Works well with Big Brake Kit. I learned my lessons i will never go back to 19 again.
Probably the most well explained and clearest videos on TH-cam! I'm a subscriber of a few car channels and yours has to be the cleanest and most understandable one on here! Top work justin! Keep the vids coming! 👍
I am always excited to see new video notification from you because of how educational and good quality your videos are🔥These wheels look awesome on this car exactly like you said the OEM look is a go to for an F30🔥And congratulations on your 1 year anniversary with you car I can’t believe its been this long!!
I remember when I got my E90, and wanted to change the rims, everyone was trying to sell me the BBS like crazy. What a recall.. 💁🏻 Any way, great video and great explanatory, too 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you! You can safely run wider rear wheels with X-Drive as long as the rolling diameter is the same front and rear. In fact, BMW sells some AWD cars with staggered wheels from the factory. I recommend using a tire calculator like tiresize.com/calculator/ to compare sizes
Thanks man! I was also looking at the HRE FF01 after seeing yours at the show but they were on backorder 😭 Im really happy with the wheels I got though!
I don’t usually like aftermarket rims, but those look really nice. Good choice! I have a 2013 335i with the stock 18s. I like the look of the rims, but they’re wrapped with run flats. Not great.
Heck I'm sticking with 18x8 with 225/40r18 tires becouse of your videos I don't want harsh ride with 19s and dealing with pool holes busting tires and or the rims
Hi Justin, appreciate all the videos you're putting out on the 340i. I had a couple of quick questions and hopefully some viewers here can answer these as well. Any knowledge/advice/info is appreciated. Wheels - My car came equipped with the 704 staggered 19" wheels and I am desperately trying to find a 18" wheel set cause the 19" isn't for daily driving (in my opinion). The bumps are a bit jarring. 1) I found a 328i owner selling his 18" wheels (400M). Stock M 19" wheels (704M) are 36 offset in the front but the 18" front M wheels (400M) are 34 offset. Is it a direct swap or would I need to use a spacer? 2) Can I transfer the TPMS from the stock wheels to the Apex or any after market wheels? Tires - Stock tires are 225/45R18 (front) and 255/40R18 (back). But I noticed you went for 245's (front) and 275's (back). If I want to stick to the stock tire sizes, would you still recommend the Pilot Pilot Sport All Season 4's? Will it cause fitment issues?
Hey Justin! Funny story! After just a week of owning the car my cars gone into limp mode. Apparently the timing chain needs to get replaced. Is it worth keeping a car after this repair? I hope you’ll respond man. Cheers!
Hope someone can answer this. I went with 275/40/18 in the rear. Does anyone know if this will rub? I see majority of people run 275/35/18 so im curious if the bigger soec will rub. Im on stock suspension. 2015 f30 335i. Any responses are appreciated 🤞🏼
Justin, is your car xdrive? If so then this setup doesn't interfere with it... Amazing fitment and great build. Had the chance to see you abf the car at kies autoshow 2023
I fitted at front Toyo 240/40/18 & 255/35/18 good year at rear.Front tyre are higher than rear but rear in corner or humps touching the car body mudguard /fender
It is great fit for F30. I'm for OEM plus also, so what do you think for this F32 setup: M Style 351 OEM from F10 / front 8.5Jx19 ET33 and 9Jx19 ET44 back :) Tires size? 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 will it rub? Thanks for your opinion
Hey guys. I need some advice. I am buying an f30 and it comes with some beautiful 19’s It isn’t lowered so it fits. I’m just worried with extra stress on the car. I was thinking it’s better to sell them for some nice 18’s
Nice review. Would it be to much for (responsible) beginner to go with ST 765 R? Would it be great to grow in with this bike. It is absolutely my favourite naked atm.
I had a rays fake(assumed it fake because there was no branding on the inner barrel) but it was crazy light, around same weights as a 225/45 tyre! why is that??
Hey Justin , can you give me so advice, I just got my car back from the dealer repair shop, they had to replace my front bumper/ fender, my husband backed into my car( by accident) now I just noticed I have over spray on my headlights 🤦🏼♀️ I was just looking at TH-cam videos and your video just popped up ! Any advice you can offer or should I go back to the dealer, TH-cam was useless. Thank you for any advice !
Personally I would go back to the dealer. They made a mistake and they should be responsible to fix it. You could try one of Mequiars' headlight restoration kits to polish the headlights. Just beware that after you do it once, you'll need to do it every year afterward to maintain them.
Need help please 🙏 I have a 2012 328i base model. Just bought a set of vmr 801 18x8.5 offset 35 all 4 wheels the same. I need help with tire size specs that I should put on the front n rear. I have buncha bolt ons n bout to do the stage 2 tune. Wanna make sure I have the right tire sizes. Please any information that you can give would be great!
Apex clams that the flow formed ARC-8 are also 18.7 pounds per wheel. How is that possible if the forged ones are 18.7? Are the flow formed wheels actually 18.7 pounds? If not, what is the actual weight of the 18" flow formed apex arc-8. If anyone has the answer, please lmk!
I cant say I feel any big difference while daily driving. Maybe slightly less hesitation when accelerating from a stop. The performance difference is probably more noticeable on a track. The main benefit to me is the strength of the wheel. They should be more resistant to bends or cracks compared to cast/ flow formed.
@@justinbuice A while ago I installed the Apex EC-7 on my 435i GC and I thought I felt some performance improvements …. but I think it’s only in my head 🤨. Thanks for sharing your opinion Justin. 👍
Hi Justin, I'm currently on H&R sport springs, I'm looking to get 19 wheels 8.5 with tires 255/40R19 in the front, and 19 wheels 9.5 with 275/35R19 in the rear, will I rub with that set up?
I had a car couple years back that came with 18-in wheels and when I upgraded to 20-in I had to get the computer reprogrammed because the car had a little jerk in the transmission and the MPH we're off a little bit but after the update it fixed both.. do you guys know if that's going to be the same issue if I put 20-in wheels on my F30?
Great insights.
And for everyone upgrading wheels on F22 or F30 please, go for 18. Works well with Big Brake Kit. I learned my lessons i will never go back to 19 again.
what's wrong with 19?
Me too man that’s crazy
Probably the most well explained and clearest videos on TH-cam! I'm a subscriber of a few car channels and yours has to be the cleanest and most understandable one on here! Top work justin! Keep the vids coming! 👍
Thank you! I put my best effort into each upload!
Just bought my first BMW and just found your channel. Dude your setup is sick AF. Thanks for all the tips. Learning a lot from your videos.
I am always excited to see new video notification from you because of how educational and good quality your videos are🔥These wheels look awesome on this car exactly like you said the OEM look is a go to for an F30🔥And congratulations on your 1 year anniversary with you car I can’t believe its been this long!!
Thanks I appreciate that!!
Coming from a newbie starting to change my wheels/tires, this video was perfect!!! Thanks man, great job!
Glad I could help!
Always good to see your upgraded stuff nice bro 😎💪🏻
Awesome job! Lots of great content!
I remember when I got my E90, and wanted to change the rims, everyone was trying to sell me the BBS like crazy. What a recall.. 💁🏻 Any way, great video and great explanatory, too 🙌🏻🙌🏻
OEM plus is just so good!
Congrats on the sponsorship. 🤝 Looks sharp👌 my pocket is not that deep but I’m enjoying watching your videos and shopping around for rims on my e90.
The F30 is looking GNARLY with the new Apex's bro 🔥🔥
Thank you!
The finish on these wheels is so awesome!
I love it! It’s not something you see everyday
Can you run this setup on xdrive?
thank you dude, this is the video i needed and with the apex wheels answered all my questions in one vid
Glad I could help!
Heck yeah man, video and wheels look great!
Thank you!
Well done Justin. You know your stuff!
Also wanted to ask about the larger rear tires and how that works out with X-Drive?
Thank you! You can safely run wider rear wheels with X-Drive as long as the rolling diameter is the same front and rear. In fact, BMW sells some AWD cars with staggered wheels from the factory. I recommend using a tire calculator like tiresize.com/calculator/ to compare sizes
looks great bro. such a relatable channel. appreciate all the info and effort you put into your videos
Thank you!
Looks great Justin! Getting Apex EC-7Rs in a few months for my E92 M3. So excited!
Thanks! Those will look great!
Just bought an e90
Love your vids
Best wheels you've owned. Very nice!
Thanks!
That F30 looks awesome
Thanks for the info, this makes it easier to search for wheels!
Love my Apex wheels, theyre simply awesome
Not luck bro. You worked hard.
Welcome to the Club always surprised that you did not go Apex orginaly with you e90
Anyone who has gone from OEM to forged, did the weight savings make a noticeable difference to acceleration?
As always my boy Justin coming with the fax and is always very explanatory in his videos thanks bro !
Glad I can help :)
Your videos keep finding me, i like your smooth video style, if i dont get my f36 im still subbin
I appreciate it!
Thank you so much :) I was looking for that by sooo much time :)
Now looks way better🙌
I’ve been waiting on this !!
honestly if you said it was a oem rim i would believe you. F30 looking super clean a definitely a fan of the oem plus look 🤙🏽
Wheels look fantastic on your 340i. I have the Michelin PS4 all seasons on my X3 M40i, they are a great tire. Great choice!!
Great info, thanks for posting 👍
Buying a set as soon as they’re back in stock.
Clean setup 👌🏼
Thank you!
Good quality content from Justin

Thanks man! I was also looking at the HRE FF01 after seeing yours at the show but they were on backorder 😭 Im really happy with the wheels I got though!
@@justinbuice couldn't go wrong with either choice!
I don’t usually like aftermarket rims, but those look really nice. Good choice! I have a 2013 335i with the stock 18s. I like the look of the rims, but they’re wrapped with run flats. Not great.
Thank you so much for helping with your reply , I guess back to the dealer I will go, Thank you Justin !

Thank you!
@@justinbuice i was gonna buy a 340i but they are getting very expensive
great job on your research, thanks
Oh yeah, you cool Justin 😎 🤙👍
I just got my E90 the timing couldn’t be better
Nice! Congrats on the car!
@@justinbuice thanks man! Can’t wait to go through all your old E90 videos AGAIN! 😂

Will 18x9 offset 25 wrapped in 265/35, 18x10 offset 255 wrapped in 275/35 fit Rwd f30?
Hope someone can answer this. I went with 275/40/18 in the rear. Does anyone know if this will rub? I see majority of people run 275/35/18 so im curious if the bigger soec will rub. Im on stock suspension. 2015 f30 335i.

Hi Justin, can I ask why you didn't go with 18x9 et30/31 in the front with the same tire size?
Love the fitment. What camber are you running on the wheels?
Nice selection!
Thank you!
I fitted at front Toyo 240/40/18 & 255/35/18 good year at rear.Front tyre are higher than rear but rear in corner or humps touching the car body mudguard /fender
Make a video on those red seats
What kind of lowering set up do you have on this? With these wheels? I love the look!
Is this Alpine White or Mineral White Metallic? Great vids.
Damn they dont make forged ARC 8 anymore? That brushed clear finish is gorgeous.
They still make the ARC-8 but the forged version with the clear finish is discontinued
Thanks for the vid! Did you swap over your tpms sensors or did you just get new ones?

It isn’t lowered so it fits. I’m just worried with extra stress on the car. I was thinking it’s better to sell them for some nice 18’s
whats the benefit of forged wheels other than it being lighter?
Hey man I need some specs for a set of wheels and rims for my 2011 528i
Will this fit 2017 bmw 440i coupe??
why must et for the rear be bigger number? please explain
Are you running spacers?
Hey I tried opening the link to your F30 Build but it’s not working. What springs or suspension are you on? I like the flush look
What kind of lowering set up do you have on this BMW with these wheels?
Great info thankyou
Glad I could help!
What would be the difference if the front wheels were 245/35 then 245/40?? And why did you run that instead of all 4 on 35???
How to use camera settings video?
Nice review. Would it be to much for (responsible) beginner to go with ST 765 R? Would it be great to grow in with this bike. It is absolutely my favourite naked atm.
Hai..im using a F30..what the spec on your 18” rims?
are u lowered on hr sports or super sports?
Great choice! I have the same wheels (non-R version) on my E91.
Thanks! They really are a timeless design
@@justinbuice Same as the Turtle on your wrist! 🙌
Would your exact wheel size and setup in the front and rear fit on a 2019 m240i? Thanks in advance

Hi Justin
Did you notice any performance improvement after installing these light APEX forged wheels?
I cant say I feel any big difference while daily driving. Maybe slightly less hesitation when accelerating from a stop. The performance difference is probably more noticeable on a track. The main benefit to me is the strength of the wheel. They should be more resistant to bends or cracks compared to cast/ flow formed.
