We recognize the M2 chassis could use an 18x10 ET33, as well as an 18x10.5" ET35 option for the rear. These sizes have already been recorded internally for possible production in the future, but it would be contingent on demand.

Historically the 1 and 2 series community has not shown enough day-to-day demand to allow us to stock their corresponding fitments on a consistent basis. Production minimums with our factory and the goal to deliver a quality product at an affordable price point prevent us from running small batches of wheels to match up with the relatively low demand we experience in comparison to other BMW chassis. We are still researching to see if the M2 community will follow suit, or if there will be enough demand to warrant consistent production.

With current M2 production figures, the best way to bring M2 fitments to market would be to leverage our Group Buy platform. The APEX Group Buy platform allows any community regardless of size to come together, pooling interest for a given product. If enough interest is generated to justify production, we have the ability to manufacture product quite quickly in response. The Group Buy platform traditionally rewards participants with a discount and free shipping for incentive

As you can see, community participation is key. We want to hear your about your pain points so-to-speak, so feel free to discuss in this thread!

Currently, we have quite a few options confirmed for production which will work for the front of the M2, some of which can also be used for square fitments:

18x9" ET31
18x9.5" ET35
18x9.5" ET22

Proposed new fitments for new design(s) pending community feedback/demand:

Front:
18x9" ET29

Rear:
18x10" ET33
18x10.5" ET35
