    Arc 8 or zco

    I have a zcp that didn't come with the wheels 😭.

    But I also like the arc 8. What's your guys preference

    I got the ARC-8 last year, and have been very pleased with them. Light, and the “Hyper Black” (really kind of a Gunmetal gray) looks great on my Silbergrau car.

      They are both amazing but nothing like oem zcp wheels

        I went with ARC-8s. Light weight and honestly cheap enough to replace if damaged. I personally like the looks but that is subjective

          Depends if you want the factory/BBS quality and finish or performance.

          For running square alone I'd go aftermarket. Regardless of that, the weight difference is about forty pounds, which is substantial as unsprung, rotating mass. My car felt noticeably faster switching wheels, and this was coming from 18s.

              I went ARC-8 but only because I wanted 18's and I like the aggressive offset. It would be hard for me NOT to run ZCP wheels if I actually had a ZCP car.

                Hyper-black are an excellent choice. Cant go wrong with APEX. Awesome quality

                    Can't go wrong with ARC-8! Obscenely light and great finish quality. I think they even look better than the ZCP (even though ZCP are a classic look)

                      I think it would be crazy to go from a forged ADVAN wheel to a fake BBS cast wheel (arc 8) The ZCP wheels are so much nicer in person and are made by BBS. There's some people who have brand new sets they'd probably part with from a botched CSL wheel group buy.

                        I bought a set of ARC-8's in hyper black and was impressed by the quality and lightness. The looks are decent, but prefer my BBS RGR's over them.

                          Bbs zcp/csl and alex arc8 are both same flow formed tech, not cast. Though one is made in China, the other in Germany.
