Update 12.16.2016 | The Group Buy has ended, but we’ve extended the pre-sale of the new wheels! The Group Buy ended successfully with 80 participants which earned everyone $325 off + free shipping. For anyone who missed out the Group Buy, you may still pre-order your set at a discount through the APEX site.
Not all designs, sizes and finishes could be produced. To hit production minimums some people needed to be switched to their backup choices. Everyone who purchased a set should have received an email a few weeks ago specifying the final design/size/finish they will receive. Please contact us if you did not receive your final confirmation. We broke our own rule of requiring 8 participants per size. On certain fitments we went ahead and produced them with fewer sets sold, but some had such low demand that we had to skip them. Below is a table showing exactly what will be coming in the first batch. FL-5:
SM-10:
What if I have some questions? No problem! Just contact us at groupbuy@apexraceparts.com. Please avoid sending us Private Messages as they do not automatically go into our ticketing system and will experience a delay for responses. Last edited by ApexWheels; 12-16-2016 at 02:50 PM.. |

We're working on a large batch of on-car renderings. We'll be trickling them out over the next month.
In most cases we will render both designs and each wheel finish into a single photo creating a set. Different photo sets will show cars from different angles, distances, sceneries, but each set will be the same photo/angle. We do not have the bandwidth to take requests for various vehicle finishes and photos, but you're welcome to photoshop the images further. These first 2 images are from a set that shows a side profile of an E46 M3 with FL-5 18x9.5" ET35 wheel installed. We should have Race Silver tomorrow.

Here are a couple comparison shots of the multiple face profiles we offer in both the FL-5 design, as well as the SM-10. As you can see, we are still finalizing the SM-10 profile 1.

Here we have the Race Silver rendering on the same E46 M3. As a reminder, these are 18x9.5" ET35, with 275/35-18 Hankook RS-3 tires. We also mated them with a Brembo 6 piston 380mm BBK up front, and 4 piston 355mm BBK in the rear respectively. :thumbsup2:

Loving the FL-5!! Two questions, 1) What are the recommended offsets for a 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 fitment? 2) Do you guys foresee these ever being released in a 19" wheel? Thanks and amazing work!!

We are kicking things off with the 18" diameter, as that is where we experience the most demand. Once the wheels are successfully released, we can gauge demand for 17" and 19" versions. In regards to the M2, you would need an 18x10.5 ET3X for proper fitment under the rear fenders. Our current lineup does not include a 10.5" wheel with that high of an offset, so it would be something that we would have to consider adding pending demand. - Ryan

Historically the 1 and 2 series community has not shown enough day-to-day demand to allow us to stock their corresponding fitments on a consistent basis. Production minimums with our factory and the goal to deliver a quality product at an affordable price point prevent us from running small batches of wheels to match up with the relatively low demand we experience in comparison to other BMW chassis. We are still researching to see if the M2 community will follow suit, or if there will be enough demand to warrant consistent production. With current M2 production figures, the best way to bring M2 fitments to market would be to leverage our Group Buy platform. The APEX Group Buy platform allows any community regardless of size to come together, pooling interest for a given product. If enough interest is generated to justify production, we have the ability to manufacture product quite quickly in response. The Group Buy platform traditionally rewards participants with a discount and free shipping for incentive As you can see, community participation is key. We want to hear your about your pain points so-to-speak, so feel free to discuss in this thread! Currently, we have quite a few options confirmed for production which will work for the front of the M2, some of which can also be used for square fitments: 18x9" ET31 18x9.5" ET35 18x9.5" ET22 Proposed new fitments for new design(s) pending community feedback/demand: Front: 18x9" ET29 Rear: 18x10" ET33 18x10.5" ET35 - Ryan

We have yet to properly test this fitment, but it does look promising on paper. 285/35-18, 295/35-18 and 305/35-18 would indeed be the tires to test. We will keep the community posted as we learn more. - Ryan
