3.3TT Ark 287 Wheels

Yeah definitely lighter but still on the heavier side compared to forged

Ya for sure but these cost less than 900 shipped. Forged your looking at nearly double that some even much more. Plus these look great lol.

Exactly why i got them lol,
Was sctually hoping for a black at first but once i saw it on. I definitely am more than happy with the purchase!

I actually plan on powder coating mine a hyper black.

what's the size of your tires?

How does the rim affect TPMS?
The sensor is inside the tire.

What does it hit?

The stem is likely the culprit and I’d guess, hits the brake caliper. The sensor stems are solid and a uniform length whereas an aftermarket stem can be basically any length and design.

Are you planning on lowering your car? I think that offset is pretty aggressive for the stock suspension, up front anyway. Perhaps it's just the angle of the photos but the front wheels look like they're poking. Lowered it will look perfect.

Looking here: ARK-287L/R | ARK Performance Wheels

The offsets are either:
19X9.5 +22
19X10 +15

And I was worried about putting on my 20x8.5 +25 upfront . These look good.

I’m not a fan of them poking like that and IMO these offsets are a bit too aggressive. It would look worse on a non lowered car, especially with AWD as those sit even higher.

Yup this is per taste. I personally would like a bit more poke in the rear. Possibly .25"-50". That's just my preference. If you aren't the best parallel parker I would never suggest any poke lol.

^^^ this is spot on.

@SKStinger is completely correct. The back calipers clear due to it being a smaller rotor.
The fronts are just too big.
This is how the stem was after my tire went flat

I actually plan on powder coating mine a hyper black.

I was gonna do the same,
But im actually gonna run this color for a bit. Once i get bored of the color i might get it powder coated somethhing else.

HMM, fist I have heard of this.
I guess the stem must be way back in the wheel and vertical to hit the caliper.

Learn something new every day.

Yes I was told these are 26 OEM are 33/34 for staggered.

That seems wrong to me. That's forged or at least flow-formed territory. The shipping weight for these is 33 lbs so i'm guessing they're more in the 31 to 32 lb range like most other cast wheels of these dimensions.

For comparison, my Niche wheels are 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5 and weigh 30 and 31 lbs respectively. They're also cast wheels.

These are wider so i'd assume a pound or two heavier per wheel.

Shipping weight was 27-28 lbs.

All of the 19" Ark monoblock wheels are between 26-28 lbs.

That's good if it's true. Just seems really light for a cast wheel of that width. Do you have yours yet? Can you toss one on a scale?

I dont have mine yet. If they arent they will probably go back. I called ark and they gave me the weight prior to order. They are trying to figure out a fix for the Wheels prior to shipping anymore. I wont run them without TPMS so hopefully they figure it out later today. If these dont turn out to work, I will be back on the hunt.... More than likely will just go with the 225S though.
