18" Apex EC-7 wheels/tires for F8x M cars, maybe more

I have (4) 18x10 et33 Apex EC-7 wheels with Nitto NT-01 tires in 275/35 for sale. The wheels have factory BMW TPMS sensors. These will most definitely fit a BMW F80 M3 / F82 M4 / F83 M4 convertible. They may fit an E90/E92/E93 or E46 M3, but you'd have to check yourself to be sure. The bolt pattern is 5x120. These clear the factory steel brakes, I am not sure if they clear the ceramic brake option.
There are a couple of small nicks on the wheels, but they are all round and not curbed. I think a black sharpie would hide the blemishes. They were used for track only, and have 500 miles at most on them. The tires have about 1-2 days left before needing replacement. I thought they were done for, but about 84 people at NHMS last year said they wear like RA1s so take it for what it's worth (this was the only set of NT-01s I've run). I'm sure anyone who followed me up turn 3 has pieces of these tires embedded in the front of their car, but I don't know if you can vulcanize them back on.
The benefit of running this particular wheel size is that you can run a square setup, which allows you to rotate front to back and mitigate tire wear. The rears are a perfect fit, and the fronts require a 5mm spacer to clear the strut. At Mosport and Tremblant, the balance was great. At NHMS, yeah a larger rear tire might help in a few spots but the rotation benefits... they are for real.
I am including the required 5mm spacers as well as extended wheel studs (both are from Bimmerworld) and lug nuts for the front.
$1100 is the COM take them all price, picked up from Old Lyme CT or Rocky Hill CT. I can also bring them to the Palmer event and I'd be willing to drive as far as Worcester to meet up.
On top of the wheel/tire package, I also have a set of brake pads to accompany these. They are Carbotech XP12s (1609) for the front and XP10s (1656) for the rear. The fronts have 2 days of use at NHMS, the rears have 5 days of use (2 Mosport, 1 Tremblant, 2 NHMS). The fronts will go another 3-4 days depending on the track, the rears are well under half worn so you would get at least 5+ more days out of them. They are a perfect match for these tires, and performed extremely well. Lots of initial bite, no fade and great modulation.
New, the fronts are $329 and the rears are $279. I'll let them go for $250. I'll also include a second set of fronts that have a little meat left on them (good for driving to/from the track or for transport/backups).
Take the entire setup for a combo price of $1300, saving you $50!
