How APEX Engineers A Better Track Wheel

[@kington2311]

For us germans, it would be great if the testing you provide would be undertaken by TÜV. This would give you a quality stamp and allow regular usage within Germany and other countries. Over here we need to record any modifications and wheels that need to be approved.

[@LIL_SEBAS]

I was on the fence about purchasing a set of you wheels for my MK7 Golf R, but after watching this video I am totally sold. Such a great product and video. Super informative.

[@baremetalgarage]

Great info. Love the attention to detail and knowing that every pound counts. And your discounted replacement program is certainly a plus that many track folks will appreciate.

[@apexwheels]

Thanks for the kind words! We're incredibly excited about the new Sprint Line and the future lines we can make with our new dies. The replacement program is such a great option for drivers that push their wheels to and beyond the limit on track. If you ever see our trailer at Laguna for an HPDE be sure to swing by and say hello! -Tom

I’m sold great video, been running Arc 8’s since 2017

[@benhaze1010]

One of the best informative wheel design videos on youtube! I think APEX is design approach is amazing; just wish they wheels would me much more available for purchase.

[@Bosshog_g80]

got a set of these yesterday super excited. shipping is only 3 business days.

Preordered a set yesterday. Can't wait!

[@SenpaiMC7]

From where? Thanks

[@apexwheels]

Hi Marco, The link below will take you to the current group buy pre-order for 18" fitments that are slated to be released first. Take a look at the overview tab and fitment table to see what fitments are releasing first and expected ETA. www.gangup.com/apex/new-forged-sprint-line-wheels.html

[@duanemari11]

Just order my second set of track wheels. 1" smaller in diameter and forged VS 5RS vs current SM10s. Looking forward to seeing/benefiting from the weight difference.

[@Oddball5.0]

What a fantastic explanation. You’re definitely on my short list for a set of wheels for my Mustang GT.

[@benhaze1010]

Same here

[@frankm9697]

Excited for these wheels and to see what else the sprint line will come up with. I would really like to see the FL-5 style in the sprint Line and hope it would be the lightest of the bunch!! 😃

[@BartBencosme]

Love the attention to detail. Will be for sure be picking up a set for my corvette soon. Kinda wish you had a 6 or 8 spoke design

[@dimitriliving]

Love the details and explanation! You guys are killing it with these 2 new wheels. I'll picking up one of these next year for sure.

[@apexwheels]

Appreciate the support and for watching!

[@nixeighty6]

Super excited for the VS-5RS for my BMW M2 Competition! (Stock 763m offsets if possible) Hope you guys can hit production goals then put out a group buy for us M2c owners for spring. Thank you, and these look beautiful

[@apexwheels]

Our 19" Sprint Line Group Buy will be launching in February with M2C specific fitments. 763m/OE widths & offsets are waiting on a new rear wheel fitment that we currently have in development. That wheel will not be part of the initial Group buy but we are working it! -Tom

[@RichardFermion]

This is awesome. Hope to see some 992 gt3/gt3rs fitments. At the prices you guys charge it's a no brainer

[@kumakaroshi117]

I am not in the market for wheels but this video and information makes me want to order a set .

[@apexwheels]

Glad it had that effect! If you're ever in the market and have any questions, we're here to help!

[@hjumper33]

Super excited for these wheels! You guys do amazing work

[@Mitchelly7]

LOVE THIS! VERY INNOVATIVE!! I gotta get myself a set of VS-5RS for my 440i!!!

[@apexwheels]

We recentlly featured a 440i running 19x9" ET30 wheels front and rear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oabHe3uEps2WiKM They'll look great on that chassis!

[@Mitchelly7]

@@apexwheels I checked it out, I like it! I think the anthracite on my black 440i with the blue m-brakes will look amazing! Maybe someday I'll put a video up of them 😎 Is there any issues running 255/35 with the 19x9s? Also mines an x-drive, does that make any difference with the fitment? Thanks! Keep up the great work!

[@apexwheels]

@@Mitchelly7 255/35-19s may rub depending on the model of tire and your ride height et c. If you want to go wider, the shorter 255/30-19s would be a safer rub-free fit. -Tom

[@Mitchelly7]

@@apexwheels thanks Tom! I was thinking the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Have you guys tested these or any other brands that you know will fit with 255/35 on the 19x9s? Thanks!

[@apexwheels]

@@Mitchelly7 We haven't tested 255/35-19s on this fitment as the majority of our customers run 18" wheels if they are looking for a taller tire sidewall. We've seen plenty of 255/30-19s or 245/35-19s though. I suspect that certain tires in that size would work without rubbing, but without testing or significant customer feedback, I couldn't guarantee a rub free fit. There are also certainly wider track-oriented tires in the same size that would cause rubbing so fitment will be a fine line. -Tom

[@sganet_]

Very impressed!

[@apexwheels]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@That1haoleguy]

Definitely picking up the VS-5s

[@apexwheels]

Can't go wrong with that design for any application!

[@josephcarastro4318]

My Carrera T is very excited about getting the VS5RS to go with new PS4S Michelins.

[@apexwheels]

You have great taste in cars and wheels! Enjoy 'em!

[@Revenant7n]

I watched the majority of the video and have browsed the website. Where are the blanks manufactured? Where is the milling done? I haven't been able to find the answer. Thank you! Really want the VS-5RS for my IS-F

[@alanchanthavisouk8557]

[@stanleylu3625]

Any plans on releasing a forged magnesium wheel in the future?

[@apexwheels]

We don't have any plans right now, but that would be a super cool project!

[@VishalRaoOnYouTube]

Is the left wheel color "Brushed Clear" or Hyper Silver?

[@ErikWithaK63]

What color was the wheel on the right?

[@apexwheels]

Apologies for the slow reply. That wheel is in the Anthracite finish.

[@Marklp16]

need some apex wheels for my skyline please make more in 18 5x 114.3

[@apexwheels]

Appreciate the interest! We definitely hope to get more involved in the JDM 5x114.3mm fitments in the future!

[@pikkagtr1942]

Do you know that the new VS5-RS in GR Supra fitment will accommodate the factory Toyota Center cap? I know the BMW line up center caps are interchangeable like the SM-10s on my F80 M3 Thanks!

[@apexwheels]

Yes, The new Supra VS-5RS fitments will be compatible with the factory Toyota wheel caps meant for the Supra just like our BMW wheels. This cap bore actually matches G chassis BMW cap bores so BMW caps from newer BMWs will also snap into these wheels. -Tom

[@RobHTech]

When I check on Apex website, the wheels for 2022 WRX/2020 WRX, 5 X 114.5, the rims say "Flow formed." I thought that Apex made forged rims. I presume there are forged flow formed and cast flow formed, depending on what blank is used.

[@apexwheels]

Thanks for the question! We make both Forged and Flow Formed wheels. The 18x9.5 ET38 EC-7 in the 5x114.3 PCD designed for the WRX/STI is a Flow Formed wheel and at the time of writing this we don't have Forged options for the WRX/STI market. This may change in the future though! Our Forged wheels use blanks while the Flow Formed wheels are formed in moulds before the barrel of the wheel is stretched outward in a process that strengthens the material in the barrel of the wheel more than a traditional cast wheel. -Tom

[@RobHTech]

@@apexwheels Thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to decide on new wheels for my '22 WRX. I don't understand whether there is forged flow formed (hybrid?) and cast flow formed, meaning that the main wheel is first formed in a cast and then flow formed, or is the main wheel forged/pressed and then flow formed.

[@anddee4938]

Will you have a set for the GT86 platform like you did with your forged and flow formed iterations? I’d really be interested in a 17 inch diameter wheel from this line.

[@apexwheels]

GT86 fitments will be available by the end of 2022 in 17x9” fitments similar to the sizes we currently offer. We are also in the process of developing a new 2nd gen 86 fitment as well as some new Flow Formed options. Be sure to stay in touch for updates! -Ian

Can you please make Evo X fitment

[@marvinzhang3734]

I really struggled to be certain whether arc 8 - 18 9 et30 fit f30 340i sxdrive front and rear with 255 40 r18 tires square set up?

[@Boblib1970]

A few months late, so you probably already have your answer, but according the members at bimmerpost message boards, yes they do. They obviously fit the rears as that tire size is a factory option, but they'll clear the front too. If it doesn't, you can always switch to 245/40/18. They will fit on that wheel, but you will just increase the fender gap by 4mm. Also, you'd have to do that tire size all the way around and not just the front because they are just barely > than the 1% range required for xdrive...but you probably already knew that.

[@brandonwu6017]

Please come out with the VS5-RS in A90 Supra fitment!

[@apexwheels]

We are planning on it! 18” and 19” VS-5RS will be available in Supra-specific square and staggered fitments in Q2 of 2022! -Tom

[@Ratalala]

i have only 8j and 8.5j 225 and 255 on my F30... will the 8.5j and 9j rear compromise the transfer box ?

[@apexwheels]

The width of the wheels themselves wont contribute directly to transfer case issues. What matters most is the overall tire diameter of the wheels and tires. If you run 225/40-18 front and 255/35-18 rear tires for example you will be well within the xDrive safe 1% difference between front and rear tire diameters even with the wider wheels. Our F30 fitment guide lists all the various xDrive compatible tire options for staggered fitments and is a great resource: support.apexraceparts.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002945034-F3x-3-4-Series-Wheel-Tire-Fitment-Guide -Tom

Does anyone here have a picture of SM10 18x10 ET33? I'm trying to gauge the concavity difference with 18x9.5 ET22 I'm planning to install it on Cadillac ATS V.

what spec should I be going with on my 340i M sport?

[@apexwheels]

Would this be for an F30 chassis 340i? Or a G chassis 340i? We have fitment resources for both generations of 340i. I assume you are talking about the F30 in which case I typically recommend either 18x9 ET30 square (front and rear with the same tire size) or 18x9 ET30 front and 18x9.5 ET35 rear (aggressive staggered setup).
