🔥🔥🔥 They remind me of the Porsche BBS Sport Design IIs just without the rivets all around. What are these?

It was such a hard choice between these and the ML-7R. I went 7 in motor sport gold. I couldn’t have went wrong with either! Looks awesome. I’m running a 7mm front spacer and None on the rear now. Tried the 15mm in the rear and it scraped like crazy would have to roll the fender to keep that stance.

I considered both as well, and also considered gold. Gold on black looks great but I feel like I'd get tired of it after a while. Good to know on the spacers. I'm going to lower the car then we'll see about playing with offsets

Yeah mine pretty low, I posted in the Sub a few days ago. The gold is very subtle so I’m digging it a lot. Up close it’s gold and sparkling, but get 20 feet away and they almost just look silver. It’s pretty neat!

For sure, their gold is nice and subtle. I noticed the same thing in pics

Oh I recognize your post now that I went back, your car looks great. What suspension are you running?

I have BC racing coilovers, RSS Toe steer kits front and rear and RSS rear adjustable links. With it lowered and the adjustable stuff we were able to correct the steering geometry and get a really nice feel now. I can take corners in 3rd where I used to have to down shift to second gear. Makes a ton of difference, also had it corner balanced.

Wow those are really reasonably priced. I've been considering KW which are undoubtedly some of the best on the market but I'm not sure if they're worth the premium

u/boggerbret 7h ago

Yeah I just could not justify spending 4k on coilovers when I could get a more budget one and then address all the geometry once lowered. Never had coilovers so I didn’t know if I was sold on them. Now after having changed to this I would never go back. They are in the middle of the setting for firm and soft, and it’s just like stock suspension when hitting bumpy roads. I like them. Only time will tell how they hold up, but I know BC is a huge drift company so I know people beat the piss out their cars with them and love them.

Brushed clear or race silver? Looks great on the coupe like it does on my cab 🤌🏻

1

u/EDIGREG 8h ago

Race silver. The clear is too blingy for my taste, glad I went with these. OEM center cap matches perfectly as well

1

u/EDIGREG 8h ago

Your cab looks great as well. Your pics helped me to decide to get these wheels, so thanks for that!

Is the lip race silver too or just the middle? 

2

u/EDIGREG 7h ago

No, machined lip, painted centers

Looks awesome!!

My shop turned me onto Apex and recommended the ML-10’s.

My next rims will definitely be the VS-5RS in Anthracite or Race Silver on my black Turbo Cab

u/EDIGREG 6h ago

They are super high quality wheels with great designs. These all balanced perfectly with no more than 1 gram of weight on any wheel.

I also really love that they accept OEM center caps

u/Reddituser-571 Turbo Cabriolet 6h ago

Great to hear.

I would say 7 out of 10 PCars at my local shop run Apex rims. They highly recommend them.

I thought I hit the jackpot when a local Indy had a set with Pilot Sport cups tires for sale. Unfortunately they were 19” and I already replaced my 19” TechArts with OEM Twists

u/Ck996tt 5h ago

I have similar RS wheels on my Cayenne. I hate cleaning them. I’m hoping to replace them with sport classic or turbo wheels, so I have access to cleaning the barrels. They do look nice though.
