look at my post #3 for the TPMS - if you get the tpms then you don't need the stems bc the tpms already comes with it
you don't need any of the other stuff like bolts, studs, etc either

Ok awesome thanks man. Is TPMS something we need or can we leave that off too? If you leave it out does it leave a warning etc. the whole winter?

Spring for the TPMS sensor. You don't want a constant low tire pressure dash light on. There could be other ramifications by not installing it as well.

Canadian cars don't use TPMS....we've got the (arguably worse) Flat Tire Monitoring system which relies on rotational speed differences to alert the driver.

Note that you could buy the TPMS sensors and code your car to support them, then you could see useful info in iDirive like actual tire pressure, temperature...I'm thinking about doing this myself.

Oh perfect - yeah i remember this whole thing with tpms from my audi. And I'm sure it's great but I'll save the few bucks myself as I'm old school and check my tires myself all the time

-If you guys have any questions about sizing, please reach out to the vendor directly. Eddy and the Apex team have been very helpful. The contact is in the group buy. You can also ask them to see if they can make the 235/40-18 tire size as an option.
I ordered my wheel / tire package but forgot about the (damn) TPMS. Apex told me they can add that to my order, but they want me to get the correct part number. I tried the website link above but can't find the TPMS in any of the part categories, and I don't know where else to find it. Could someone PLEASE confirm that the part number above is the correct one? I don't to order the wheels with the wrong ones.
Thanks.

PS. Here is what the guy from Apex wrote me:
"We believe the correct TPMS sensor is the RDE027. This is the manufacturers part number. BMW will assign a part number to their own sensor, and we do not currently have that information on file. This should be the same sensor found in the F22 2 series as well as the F8X M3/4. Since TPMS sensors must be installed with your wheels during mounting and balancing, the last thing we want is to cost our customers time and money if they have installed the wrong TPMS. Therefore, we always state that the customer check his part number with their local BMW department. Though we may have a recommendation as to what the sensor may be, the only way to truly guarantee the number is through BMW."

Here it is

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=36_2028

Look at the part number #6, that is the whole TPMS unit. It is 36106856209 which is the same number that i posted

Thanks.

Only 16 pledged with 5 days to go. Not looking too good for the $200 discount. I was torn between the Apex wheels and some of the added 18 inch wheel options from Tire Rack (although none of the Tire Rack wheels for the winter package are 9 inch wide). An additional $200 will put my order over the $2000 psychological barrier and I may rethink getting a Tire Rack package instead of the group buy Apex package.

Went to the BMW dealer today for service on the current car and confirmed the TPMS assembly part number above is correct. See attached printout directly from the dealer's parts system. Hope this helps someone as I was getting the same boilerplate reply from Apex regarding the need to confirm TPMS part number with the dealer. My reaction was - if you list it as one of the choices in the dropdown list, then just f#$%g tell me which one it is.... Anyway, this should take care of this question. Looks like this also matches the part number in realoem.com.

I'm confident we will get 30, I asked apex to email everyone of the 59 people who completed the feeler phase. I also posted the link to bimmerfest too.
But yeah, i agree with you too, if we do not end up getting enough to 30 i may be looking at tirerack or something else too.

Let's go everyone! We have 20 and need 10 more. Sexy wheels, some of the lightest around, proven brand, some of the best winter tires you can ask for, OEM BMW TPMS sensors installed, tires mounted, balanced, and shipped to your door for free, what more do you want??

interesting that 235/40/18 isn't an option as its closer to the oem and narrower for better snow traction/handling but closer to oem being the main reason

I need to edit my order to include the TPMS and I'm not getting any help at all from the Apex representative ( to that question or to other questions I've sent to them!). ANYONE KNOW HOW TO EDIT AN ORDER ONCE PLEDGED?

I hope their follow through on delivery is better than their customer service so far.

I pledged this morning - number 23 of 30. I called and verified the EC-7 18"x9" ET31 fitment for the M2. The M2 TMPS (part # 36106856209) are in the optional accessories drop down list when you pledge. For tires I chose the Alpin PA4's. I'll sacrifice some grip in the snow and ice for better handling. Although I live in the snow belt, I have other vehicles to drive if the weather is terrible.

I've lusted for a set of Apex wheels for years. I almost feel guilty about using them as winter wheels.

Let's get those last 7 slots filled...

Have you tried calling them? I called them to ask a question and they were very helpful.

They just responded by email and were apologetic and cooperative about editing my order. I take back my earlier rant.

Hope they get 30 orders. I'd hate to start all over.

Do we know when these will ship? I'm moving in ~2 weeks. I'm guessing I should supply my new address for shipping.
