Thanks to the efforts of all the enthusiasts who have pledged already, we've unlocked the Max Discount! With 8 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.

19" VS-5RS Customer Showcase

On the other end of the diameter spectrum, we recently got these shots of an F31 running our OE F8X fitment (19x9 ET30 front and 19x10 ET40 rear). While this fitment is aggressive, it can work well on a non-M F3X and we think blau3er's F31 wears these wheels especially well.

Those look so amazing. I plan to get these for my F36, 19x9 squared when my current tires are worn out. Thanks for sharing his photos.

Fitment is aggressive, but I can also confirm no tyre rubbing at all with this set up (car is lowered too).

It’s essentially the same as 437m - which is well documented to be hassle free on the F3x when done properly with the right tyres.

Where?

On the front - possibly, but I wouldn’t like to guess!

On the rear - definitely, but it would be quite stretched on a 10j

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.

Pretty sure I’ve seen the 9j fronts done with 255 - so sure you’ll be fine.

Any reason why you don’t want the bigger concave rears?

tire rotations and to me it seems to make the car a bit more neutral. And since I am xdrive, I don't need the fat tires in the rear for launching. However, staggered widths do look better. Your setup looks incredible.

No worries, that's what its here for! We've seen 255/40-18 work with street tires on 18x9 ET30, so the 19" equivalent of 19x9 ET30 with 255/35-19 could work. The 18" and likely the 19" setup is aggressive though and tires that run wide are likely to rub up front either when at full steering lock or under compression.

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.

Thats a longer term project we're currently working on! No ETAs yet but its in the works!


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.

Great looking design but they appear to poke out a little too much on the F30 for my taste. The finish also doesn't appear to be a smooth polish by looking at the pics.

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!
