APEX 18” & 19” EC-7 Mustang Wheel Group Buy
This Group Buy has ended, thank you to those who participated.


We’re kicking off the new decade with our old faithful, the EC-7 Mustang Group Buy! Back by popular demand, our 18” and 19” EC-7 Mustang wheels are available in both staggered and rotatable square fitments, providing S197 and S550 enthusiasts alike with lightweight, flow formed solutions to meet your specific needs.

The EC-7 design offers industry-leading brake clearance, effectively clearing all factory brakes and aftermarket big brake kits that we have come across. Do not be forced into running larger diameter wheels than desired due to inferior brake clearance. The 18” EC-7’s clear the S197 14” & 15” GT500 Brembo brakes and S550 Performance Package brakes, in addition to many aftermarket big brake kits like the Essex/AP 372 Competition or StopTech 6 piston 380mm kits.. The 19” EC-7’s provide superior clearance for the massive GT350 Brembo BBK. More than most wheels on the market today - including twice the barrel clearance to the OEM GT350 and uber-expensive GT350 R carbon fiber wheels.

This Group Buy conveniently offers tires such as the Nitto NT01 and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, along with accessories like TPMS, color-matched metal valve stems, and ARP extended wheel studs. This deal allows Mustang enthusiasts around the world to “GangUp” for a chance to receive the largest discount offered on our 18” & 19” wheels. The more enthusiasts that pledge, the greater the discount will be. With the ability to set a minimum required discount, there is no risk in signing up early, as orders will only be processed if we unlock your desired discount.

Add Tires To Get Free Mounting & Balancing

36056037470_7cebe1ac46_o.jpg

Wheel & tire bundles are available with this group buy. Add tires with your group buy wheel order and get Free tire mounting and balancing by our trusted enthusiast technicians. We use high-end, touchless equipment and inspect every wheel and tire combo thoroughly before they leave our warehouse. Popular Michelin & Nitto tires are available.


Thinking about waiting to join until your discount is hit? Don’t do that!
We always recommend getting your pledge in as early as possible. The system in no way rewards watching the deal and joining late. The whole purpose of the pledge system is to allow you to join with confidence and security even within the first minute of the deal accepting payment. You’ll never have to pay more than you’re willing to - even if you’re the first participant. Pledging is risk free!


I want to know more about APEX wheels. Where can I learn more about them?
All APEX wheels are highly regarded and fully verified with official JWL and VIA certifications for every single size and offset. We created these wheels to inspire confidence during track days, race events, and everyday driving. Click here to learn everything about APEX wheels. The quality of information is worth your time!


What’s different about our Group Buy?
Joining Group Buy deals via forums is traditionally a very manual process. Since our deals have grown so large over time, we are working with a new tool to organize these deals in a single, well organized location. This deal is entirely managed on GangUp.com where you can pay, follow, and discuss the deal’s status.


How do I participate?
Visit the official Deal Dashboard on GangUp.com. From there, you can show your interest by joining our feeler list. You’ll receive an email reminder when the deal officially opens. When the deal is live and accepting payments, you can complete checkout and pay for your order from the same page. All product details, member participants, and discussions can be found on that Dashboard.


What if I have some questions?
No problem! You can simply contact us by clicking “Message Vendor” on the deal page or via [email protected]. Please avoid sending us Private Messages as they do not automatically go into our ticketing system and will experience a delay for responses.

I do have a nice set of Forgestars that I've used on the track but they have been nicked and scratched a bit. The SM-10 and EC-7 I've got from Apex have also been tracked and they're holding up much better, even after a few spins. They're both in Satin Black which shows blemishes quite well but both sets still look new. I couldn't be happier with their products.

Hello Everyone,

We are off to an awesome start in just this first week of the Group Buy, but we can’t sit back and rest yet. It’s important to note that simply showing interest is not enough to join the Group Buy. You must submit your official pledge to participate in the deal and secure your savings!

Don’t forget about our new center cap options available for pre-order through the Group Buy. Featuring Ford Blue and Race Red, these caps are a great way to add personal touches to your ride.

How can I get some of the Mustang center caps for my EC-7s as well as my SM-10s? I don't see them on the website.
The Mustang logo ones? We do not sell those, but here is the part number to them for the SM-10: FR3Z-1130-C
The EC-7 takes this cap: M-1096-K / 1R3Z-1130-AA

I guess this means the EC-7 can only accept the bar & pony cap and not the one that is only the pony?

Yes unless you could find one that matches the dimensions of the bar & pony. Ford made things real difficult on us and used multiple different styles and sizes for their caps over the years so it's impossible for anyone to have a wheel that accepts every cap.

Hi Everybody,

Exciting news as we cross the halfway point in the Group Buy, we are just 1 pledge away from unlocking the maximum discount tier! Who is going to be the hero for everyone else and get us all over the hump?

For some extra motivation check out this track prepped GT350 driven by Tony from Edge Motorworks at Thunderhill Raceway. They swapped to a Brembo Race brake up front, allowing them to run 18x11” at all four corners wrapped in 315/30-18 Hoosier R7s.

Congratulations Everyone,

With all of your help, we have unlocked the maximum discount tier of $250 off and free shipping*! We are extremely excited to see the deal max out heading into the weekend. If you’re still on the fence, you should act now since the maximum discount is guaranteed. The longer you wait, the more likely the design or color of your choice could sell out. With still eleven days left for other enthusiasts to join in on the savings, we encourage you to spread the word on the forums, or to any car buddies that may be interested in the deepest discount offered on 18” & 19” EC-7 Wheels.

Remember, showing interest alone is not sufficient enough to get you on the deal. Take a few minutes and pledge now to get these wheels at a guaranteed $250 off + free shipping*.
The Group Buy will be accepting new pledges up until 3/17 at 11:59 PM Pacific. You don’t want to miss out!

We’d like to feature Sean’s Boss 302 rocking our popular 18x11” ET52 wheels. This square and rotatable setup is achieved by using extended wheel studs and spacers up front.

Hello Everybody,

As we head into the final weekend of the Group Buy, we wanted to let everyone know this is your last chance to submit your pledges and join the deal. Simply showing interest is not enough and does not mean you are on board. So if you are considering a set of EC-7 wheels for your car, now is the time to do it and save $250 in addition to free shipping*!

Check out Formula Drift star Justin Pawlak’s stunning Roush P51D sporting a set of our 18x11” EC-7s in Bronze, wrapped in 315/30-18 Falken tires.

Just a few more days gentlemen. Amazing to me Apex offers these group buys and right now it is a guaranteed discount price so pretty hard not to jump in if interested. They do support this Forum quite well with info and assistance after the sale.

This will be the only EC-7 Mustang Group Buy we run this year so if you are on the fence about it, please reach out to us with questions.

49668408417_527431efcc_h.jpg
