Just wondering if anyone here has these on their F22 or have any personal experience with this line of wheels? They're inexpensive ($650~ish) for an 18x8 squared set-up of somewhat replica CSL's and fit the BMW center caps.

Apex makes something very similar and the quality is a known commodity - I'd check them out. Small premium in price but worth it IMO.

Thanks. I just looked them up and it doesn't seem like they have an 18x8 for the PS-7. Looks like 8.5" is the narrowest unless anyone knows otherwise? I want to stay at 8" because I just bought a new set of 225 & 245 tires 2 weeks ago and I want go with an 8" so I can use them. Eventually I want to square it all off with 235's once these wear out.

We offer our V703 in 18x8.5 ET35 or ET40 that will also accommodate your tires. The ET40 would be better for the 235 that you plan on running in the future. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a PM! Happy to help! This car is running our 18x8.5 ET35 V810 with the same 225/245 tires you plan to run.

Thanks for the reply! Wouldn't a 225 over 8.5" look a bit stretched? I want the sidewall vertical and not pull inward toward the car. I like the look of the stock 225 on a 7.5" up front and 245 on 8" rear. If I go square, I was thinking an 8" would be a good compromise and eventually go with a 235 all the way around once my new tires need to be replaced.

I've got a set of the Drag 73 wheels 18x8 et40 with F225/45 and R255/35 lowered on coilovers with no issues. Love how they look and the price was awesome.

I have no idea, I sold the wheels with the caps but I highly doubt they fit

My speedometer is more accurate with the 225/45-18 winter tyres all around, 1% low reading compared with 4% high reading with the stock staggered 18" setup.

They were the tires on the car when I bought it, when I bought the new wheels I just had them swap them over

225/45-18 is a stock size for a non-sport package F3x 3 or 4-series, perhaps the wheels/tyres on your car were originally on one of those models, especially if the wheels were 18x8 with a 34mm offset?

I bought the car CPO and the dealer put new tires as a part of the CPO inspection I guess, I'm just happy they put 255s on it hahaha i had planned on doing that anyways, i would of done 235s up front but these were brand new so I'll replace with performance summer tires 235/255 when they're done

I've got a set of Drag DR37 on my parent's X3 as winter rims. It has held up to their less than stellar driving (albeit, the sidewalls on the x3 is massive). The only real issue with them is the finish is not quite up to snuff on holding up with winter's harshness. The clearcoat is peeling in some areas

I have the Matte Grey M52s in 18x8 ET45 with 225/45-18 winter tyres on our Golf R. They have been great through the last 3 winters. Reasonably light wheels at a good price that stand up to pothole abuse and have a good quality finish that can handle winter chemicals.
