17 Inch Lightweight Wheel Choice!
Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2024 10:50 am
Hey all,
This one is quite a nice problem to have as I can't decide between two types of lightweight wheel for my Z4.
I would have loved a set of Apex SM-10s as they look so good, but unfortunately were never made in 17" (in 5x120) and are a smidge out of budget.
The two options I've narrowed it down to are:
Apex ARC-8 17x9 ET30 square
Protrack One 17x9 ET30 square
The sizes are the same and it just comes down to looks and strength. I personally prefer the looks of the Protracks, but they are a cast wheel and the Apex ARC-8s are a flow-formed wheel which will be much stronger for kerbs on track (and potholes on our wonderful roads). I also know the ARC-8s are a well proven wheel and is one of the favourites amongst the car community.
I am just wondering what all your opinions were on the looks of these wheels and my worry about the strength of the Protracks.
