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

17” Group Buy Update


With 43 pledges locked in and over 100 enthusiasts currently listed as interested, this deal is quickly closing in on the maximum discount of $300 off plus free shipping!* With 13 days remaining, there is still plenty of time to join our 17” VS-5RS Group Buy and claim your own set at this incredible price point.

17” Customer Feature




Alec’s Space Gray E90 335i on 17” APEX VS-5RS wheels

While 18s and 19s are commonly run on the E9x non-m chassis, we wanted to take this opportunity to showcase these 17s on one of these cars. With aggressive drag fitments and taller sidewall tires being a popular option on modified E9X chassis, the VS-5RS are a natural fit.



17x9.5 ET35 Square

APEX Fitment notes:
Fitment shown: Brushed clear VS-5RS
17x9.5 ET35 Front & Rear VS-5RS on 255/40-17 NT01 tires
5mm front spacers used for strut clearance

17x9.5 ET35 square isn’t often run on the E9X cars but it can work with additional negative camber dialed in up front for clearance. This wheel fitment is an easy fit in the rear of the car with wider tires and taller tire sidewall options including 275/40-17 and is the choice of drag racers looking to exploit a meatier tire option ¼ mile at a time. 17x9 ET30 can be run up front for an easy staggered setup or all-around for a perfect OEM+ square fitment.





17x9 ET30 Square

Fitment shown: Anthracite VS-5RS
17x9 ET42 Front & Rear with 255/40-17 Toyo RR slick tires
12mm spacers used Front and Rear to give an effective offset of ET30

17x9 ET30 is our default square recommended fitment for this platform. Despite the smaller diameter wheels, the optimized barrel profile of both of these wheel fitments easily cleared the large aftermarket brembo brakes. Aggressive Toyo Slicks are showcased on this set of wheels as a carryover from our shoots on SPEC E46 3 series race cars.

19” Bronze Fitments Inbound




By popular demand, we’ve added Satin Bronze as a finish option to one of our most popular 19” fitments. Our current lineup of 3 finishes has already proven to be quite popular within the BMW community, but we aren’t done yet. By popular request including some of our own staff members who own F87 M2s, we’ve decided to introduce Satin Bronze in a staggered 19” fitment. Despite being engineered for the M2 Competition, these 19” wheels will work well on other BMW chassis like the F8X M3 and M4 or other applications with spacers.

The Details


Fitments
19x9.5 ET28
19x10.5 ET45

Our most popular fitment for the M2 has been reborn. This versatile fitment is returning with an all new look.

A Closer Look


We are launching these wheels on short notice and don’t have on car samples, but we hope you’ll appreciate these photo-realistic renders put together by our team. True on car shots of this finish on other applications will also be included to give you a better sense of how the color looks in varied lighting conditions:









These wheels have already been produced and are en-route. The first run is a small production run made to satisfy immediate demand and help us justify future expansion of bronze options within the BMW space. These wheels are arriving in Mid August and are currently available to pre-order on our website.

Motorsport Gold Update

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!

Imola F8X Double Feature

Just in case you missed it, we recently featured an F80 M3 and F82 M4 on VS-5RS wheels.

THE DESIGNS

SM-10RS

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.




VS-5RS

The VS-5RS was built to be extremely light while still offering a meaningful strength increase over our flow formed wheels. For those looking to shed as much weight as possible to improve lap times.



EC-7RS

Our stiffest design, the EC-7RS is meant for the drivers who want to prioritize stiffness while still maintaining the lightweight and classic motorsports looks that our customers are looking for.

SM-10RS Technical Video

The max discount for both deals have been unlocked and we are down to just one week remaining on both the 18" and 19" Group buys. Be sure to lock in your pledge soon if you’re looking for deep discounts on any of our Sprint Line designs. In the meantime, we’ve had quite a few questions asking how the three members of the Forged Sprint line compare with one another. We hope this new technical video helps to outline these differences and makes choosing your next set of APEX wheels even easier.





We know that the SM-10RS isn’t available yet in every fitment we make for BMWs. If you’d like to see this design get additional fitments in the future, please let us know!

Some of you may have already seen the reveal of this project on our instagram, but we wanted to reach out to the BMW community on the forums as well to collect feedback about the development of a new wheel design.


Project ML-10 Background:


After Josh, one of our Senior Product Engineers installed a widebody kit on his race car project, he had to design a custom set of wheels to fit his extreme application. Originally a one off project, when he showed the team what he created, we were floored. And our community was too when we shared a picture on Instagram and Facebook.


We’ve made it an official project, but to make this wheel a reality, we need you to decide on some of the details by taking our survey.





Need more information? Subscribe to our newsletter and check out project updates along with additional photos on our website.

A Classic Returns.



Our Forged ARC-8s are back and better than ever. As part of our new Touring Line, these wheels bring Real Performance to a classic design in the fitments you love. Strength and Stiffness were prioritized in this revamp of our Forged ARC-8 and new forged features from our Sprint line were incorporated including the Sprint Line inner lip which offers more protection where it’s needed most.

Deeper Than Ever



Concavity was a priority when we designed the newest iteration of this iconic wheel. Since our profile 3 Flow Formed ARC-8s were released just after the start of Apex itself, it has become an iconic look in the BMW world. With the new freedom allowed to our engineers via the use of our Motorsport Blanks we’re now able to offer more concave fitments including profile 4 ARC-8s in select fitments for the first time ever.

A Fitment For You



We’re bringing out a large selection of our classic 5x120 BMW fitments. Check out the table below to see the fitments we’ll be bringing to market.

Deeper Concavity: A High Profile Change



Back when we launched our first ever Forged ARC-8R wheel, we set out to make a wheel that could do it all. The old Forged ARC-8R featured an 1800 lb load rating, which made it a bit heavy. It also had great brake caliper clearance, because its spokes were less concave than the Flow Formed version of the wheel. The result was a lot of compromise, and it didn’t excel in any specific area.

Fast forward to today. With the recent addition of the Enduro Line, a Forged ARC-8 would no longer need to sport a high load rating. To save weight, we brought the load rating down to match the specs of the Sprint Line family. Because Sprint line wheels already offer exceptional brake clearance for most every caliper, we could let the ARC-8RT’s spokes go as aggressively concave as possible, only giving up clearance for a few race calipers that our other wheels can clear.

With less constraint related to clearing the largest brake kits, more concavity is possible with these new ARC-8RTs. The 19x11 ET44 on the rear of this F87 M2 is a perfect example of a profile 4 ARC-8RT, the most concave ARC-8s we’ve ever produced.

Three distinct forged families allow these wheels to exist with less compromise and more of the features that fans of the ARC-8 love.
