Love you current wheel lineup, only thing I could add is maybe gloss black options. I also love the style of the 949 racing wheel, it's big in the Miata world but I think it would look amazing on Mustangs in a 18 or 19. Brake clearence I guess is yet to be determined.

Plain 5 spoke similar to a Forgestar CF5 please.

This. I put it in the survey too.

 

[saleen367]

I took the survey and voted for F, pictured below, just because its a similar design to the PP2 wheel. I'd pre-order that tomorrow for something different. Nice depth (concave) and great design. Not really a fan of the new SM-10 but thats just a personal preference.
Now if simple is where its at, a 5 or 6 spoke similar to the Forgestar is a classic look if it has some depth.

 

[FilxNZ]

I would also love a chunky, classic 5 spoke design. Would a 5 spoke be harder to get the weight down compared to a multi spoke wheel though?

Apex,

Function before design!

1- Universally on the S550 the EC-7 is used. Why can't we have an EC-7 with the right offsets so giant spacers don't have to be used?

2-Look at your own picture. 99% of us track guys do not race with the centercaps. In fact some organizations require that we remove them. Centerlock wheels come with a hoop nut to quickly tie down racecars. Why not blow every other lugged wheel maker off the market and make a hooped cam lock that would lock into the stepped recess in the center of the EC-7 wheel that we could insert with wheel on car and quickly tiedown our racecars?

I've long been a fan of your ARC-8, as well as the Volk TE037SL inspired from JGTC cars, LMP2 wheels, the Forgeline CF1, and last but not least the ATS GTR (photos below)

Anything that screams motorsport and not "poser with 8000$ forged wheels in shiny candy clearcoat" works for me.

 

[Wolvee]

I just hope they don't get rid of the SM-10's. It's the only wheel I like and have ever wanted on my car. If I can't get those, I'm selling my headache and buying a motorcycle. ..I'm only half joking.

 

[HackBoss2901]

I'm a big fan of the SM-10. I hope to order a second set soon.

 

[mwjscn]

I'm probably an outlier, but I'm really a fan of 10-spoke designs organized in pairs resembling a 5-spoke/star layout, like the OEM Brembo wheels. My favorite current offering is the SM-10 design. My OCD gets me when the spoke count isn't an integer when divided by the amount of lug nuts, so for the Mustang it's 5 or 10 for me. You can call me weird if you want

I was really a fan of this SVE GT7 design when it came out, since it almost seemed like an updated Brembo concept:

Maybe offset the lug nut between the spoke pairs, like the Brembo wheel, for better socket access. Looks good with concavity:

Similar idea, this time from a Porsche GT3 RS:


I'll go sit in the corner now.

 

[Norm Peterson]

I've always liked the split-spoke designs. Particularly with the split-8 design that was perhaps most closely associated with the 'Cosmic' wheels of the 1970s, the split-5 from the 2008-ish GT500, and the split-7 (seen in my sig pic).

It's been a while since I've had my mind blown, but that's an awesome idea.

If I weren't so lazy anyone of my million ideas would have made me a billion. But...I'd rather go fishing...

 

[Bill Pemberton]

As Bob noted function first and that would be what would be my first criteria with any rim -------------strength and low weight! So many rims look good , but they screw up the unsprung weight due to looks over function. Love the SM-10 ( have had 3 sets over the years ) but would buy something different if Apex says their new design is not only stronger , it weighs even less.

Function --- Bob said it all.

Give us powder coating options

 

[TMSBOSS]

Or a “Bare Option” where we can have it coated.
