APEX wheels have only been available in a few select finishes since their original release. We’d like your help picking our next standard or special edition finish. Take this short poll to vote for your favorites. Custom powder coating is costly whether that price is an extra service or built into the cost. With enough demand we can run special batches of unique colors at no added cost. Your vote can help bring them to life.

EDIT: 2/22/2017 Say Hello to Matte Bronze!

After receiving over 600+ survey submissions from the community stemming from these forums threads, we are excited to offer Matte Bronze as a new special finish option for select sizes. It was the most requested in our surveys, so we’re giving the community a chance to get what they want. We have officially added it as a finish option in our popular ARC-8 18" Group Buy. Join the deal to reserve your set in this unique finish today!

Beautiful car matthewjmoser!

Over 300 responses have come in so far, but less than 8% of those are from the E9X Non-M community. Finish preference votes are being dominated by the E46 M3 owners participating. We really don't want this community being over shadowed.

UPDATE

After receiving over 600+ survey submissions we produced a sample of the top 3 finishes requested in the most popular design requested (ARC-8).

A Group Buy has been created to make these a reality. Because this is just a color change, only a small group of participants per size/finish are needed to reach production minimums.

Checkout the Group Buy HERE

The top 3 colors requested are:

• Matte Anthracite
• Matte Bronze
• Gloss Gold

Do you have any pics of the matte vs. glossy anthracite wheels on a car? Especially a white car?

Would be cool to see it on the same side, front vs. back.

We have quite a bit of photography available, but not on-car.

Appreciate your interest, however I wouldn't hold out for a PS-7 Group Buy, especially for one that offers Matte Bronze as a finish option. Although we can identify unique differences between our EC-7 and PS-7 designs, a majority of the community feels that the two are very similar. After much deliberation, we decided to bring two completely new designs to the APEX lineup (FL-5 & SM-10), and stop production on the PS-7 design for the time being. This will allow us to offer our customers 4 designs in total, where there is clear differentiation in the aesthetic aspect of the wheels.

We can bring the PS-7 design back at any time, but we would need to see the proper demand to support those efforts.
