We’ve loved seeing all of our M car customers on these VS-5RS wheels, but it's about time we showed some non-M chassis some love. Our Customer Liza (@htemup_b58) sent in these shots of her 440i F36 Gran coupe on an aggressive staggered set of our 18” VS-5RS wheels:

Wheels: Brushed Clear VS-5RS
Front: 18x9 ET30
Rear: 18x9.5 ET35

Tires:
Front: 255/40-18 Michelin PSS
Rear: 275/35-18 Hankook Z214 C5

This staggered setup is a great fit for her big turbo build and the wheels really look stunning on the 4 series platform. Both front and rear wheels are profile 2 and look great despite their reduction in concavity.









Our 19” photoshoots are still underway to support the upcoming Group Buy. We can’t share the photos yet, but these wheels look great on the BMWs and other makes we’ve seen them on thus far and we’re excited to share them with you shortly. If you’re in the bay area and are interested in volunteering for an APEX photoshoot, our online form is still live!

Currently we plan on getting the 19” Group Buy live later this month with the first release of our EC-7RS design in the BMW market alongside the VS-5RS wheels. Stay tuned!

Hi there,

The VS-5RS is a part of our Sprint Line that is specific to our forged manufacturing techniques. With that said, we do not have any plans to offer it in a flow formed wheel at this time.

With 22 days left in our ongoing 19” Group Buy, we wanted to feature a few non-M 3 and 4 series on our 19x9 ET30 VS-5RS wheels. This is the least aggressive width and offset that we are launching during this Group Buy making it an excellent OEM+ option for front M-car fitment or square fitments on non-M 3 & 4 series detailed below.

Wheels: 19x9 ET30 VS-5RS in Brushed Clear Front & Rear
Tires: 245/35-19 Michelin PS4S

Despite our 19” Sprint Line Group Buy coming to an end, we aren’t fooling around. We have another stellar video showcasing our new Forged 19” Sprint Line wheels this time on a clean track-ready F80 owned by our friend Spencer.

Looking for the widest possible fitment without any fuss? Our 19” Staggered F8X M3/M4 specific fitment can do just that, allowing for a 10” front and 11” rear wheel as a direct fit on a completely stock vehicle. Pair that with a 275 width front and 305 width rear tire and you're ready to carve up your local canyon roads or hit the track and set a new PB.

With only 4 days left, don’t miss your chance to pledge for a set of these 19”s

Thanks to the efforts of all the enthusiasts who have pledged already, we've unlocked the Max Discount! With only a few days remaining in this Group Buy, you still have plenty of time to lock in your preferred fitment but you'll need to act fast.

Popular fitments and finishes are likely to sell out at this rate and those who pledge early are given priority when it comes to allocation. Don't miss out on your chance to lock in a set of these brand-new forged fitments.

APEX Wheel Replacement Program

While we've mentioned the program on these threads before, we wanted to share this freshly released video going through our Wheel Replacement Program with you all. This program is an under-appreciated part of buying APEX wheels that can be hugely valuable if you go off track midway through a lap or tackle the median of the street outside Cars & Coffee.

Our goal wasn't just to make pushing your car to the limit more affordable but also to reduce the chances of a bent wheel being sold on the aftermarket. All 4 wheel set orders are eligible for this program and while we hope you won’t have to use it, you’re covered if you do.

VS-5RS Finish Update



We’re adding new finish options to our 5x120 and 5x112 BMW lines!

For those of you not following along with our 20” Group Buy updates, here’s a better look at our all new Motorsport Gold finish alongside our other finish options:


Video Correction: Brushed Clear is a hand-brushed finish applied after the machining that eliminates machining marks on the surface of the wheel.

This finish is arriving first in our 20” and OEM+ 19” F8X fitments but let us know if you’d like to see it expanded into our other VS-5RS fitments!

We’re also adding Satin Bronze to 18”, 19”, and our incoming 20” fitments. alkatraz’s M2 did a fantastic job of showcasing this all new finish on his new VS-5RS set:

Our Black Friday sale is Live!



Save 15% on our EC-7RS and 10% on our VS-5RS wheels.

This sale includes our first 18” EC-7RS BMW wheels in our 3 best selling fitments of 18x9 ET30, 18x9.5 E35 and 18x10 ET25. They’re arriving in Early December, but be one of the first to lock in a set with a deep Black Friday discount.

Speaking of 18x10 ET25, we hope you’ll enjoy this look at 18x10 ET25 square on an E46 M3 featuring our VS-5RS wheels.



Wheels: 18x10 ET25 Front and Rear
Tires: 275/35-18 Nitto NT01s



This setup requires significant negative camber and often front spacers are required, but it’s a great option for track-focused E46s as well as being our most popular wheel setup for the E9X M3.

Motorsport Gold Fitments in Progress


We’ve added Satin Bronze as a finish option to a number of our VS-5RS wheels and now we’re expanding our Motorsport Gold finish to fitments beyond the F8X M2/3 & 4 fitments it’s already offered in. Many of you have asked for true photos to showcase the unique gold color and give you a better idea of what it looks like beyond the initial renderings.

Motorsport Gold standard production, Satin finish:

BMW photos are coming in the future, but we hope you enjoy a look at this Porsche centerlock fitment in the same Motorsport Gold finish.

The SM-10RS has Arrived!



Introducing the Forged SM-10RS. An ultralight version of our already popular SM-10 design.


We’re a function-over-form brand, so we took our time and engineered this wheel to be our best. The original SM-10 has been re-engineered with thinner spokes and extra-deep side-milling for maximum weight reduction. The SM-10RS is now our lightest wheel in some fitments and meaningfully stiffer than our popular VS-5RS.



Just like all Forged Sprint Line wheels, the new SM-10RS features:

Sprint Spec Inner Lip
Fully Forged from 6061 Aluminum
Massive Spoke and Barrel Clearance
Un-Painted Knurled Beads
Lifetime Structural Warranty
Unmatched Replacement Program










Click here for more details and to see a list of fitments for your specific chassis.

APEX SM-10RS

Click here to join one of our active Group Buys to get deep volume discounts on our existing VS-5RS and EC-7RS forged wheel designs, or to be among the first to pre-order the all-new SM-10RS!

Expert@ApexRaceParts Can you share what the inside barrel diameter measurement of the EC-7, EC-7R, and EC-7RS is? I imagine there's only a few mm difference, but I'm curious how much difference between them. Thanks! I'm on the pledged list for the current EC-7RS 18" group buy! =]

We can't actually share the IDs of the barrels but the EC-7RS essentially has more clearance than the FF EC-7 and EC-7R in the areas of the barrel where it matters. If you're considering specific brakes we can check the clearances and let you know what they look like on a per kit and per fitment basis.
