APEX 18” & 19” EC-7 Mustang Wheel Group Buy

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 their specific needs. Whether you are enjoying your machine on the street or as a weekend track warrior, we’ve got you covered. Go wider, go lighter!

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 StopTech 6 piston 380mm kit. The 19” EC-7’s provide superior clearance to the massive GT350 Brembo BBK than most wheels on the market today - including the OEM GT350 and uber expensive GT350 R carbon fiber wheels.

This Group Buy conveniently offers wheel and tire packages with free mounting and balancing, as well as accessories like TPMS sensors and color matched metal valve stems.

When I go to the website, the total comes out to 1576 for 18x11 et52 when it should be 1456 based on retail price. Is there some mistake there? Add $150 to remove $250 seems odd.

Unit pricing for each APEX wheel was incorrectly entered into the deal, and has since been fixed. Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention!

Will this group purchase have the same structure/tiers as the previous deals on groupbuyparts?

Pledged. Maybe the third tyme around is the charm. If not, I going for another set of Forgestars.

Appreciate the interest gents. Group Buy's ran in the first quarter of the year notoriously perform very well - typically earning a much larger participation count due to the seasonality of the sport. Enthusiasts across the country are gearing up for the track/race/performance driving season, therefore the deals themselves are more successful. With that said, we are still gaining traction in the Mustang community, so if you are interested in a set at a higher discount tier, be sure to share the opportunity with your fellow enthusiasts. Group Buy's for BMW wheels during this time of year go bonkers, where most, if not every deal smashes the top discount tier participation requirement.

Let me know if you guys have any questions in regards to the product, or the deal itself.

Any plans to expand tire choices? I’d like to run the 305 NT01’s on the 18x11

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great question. I would love nothing more than to add NT01's and some other "key" track tires to our arsenal, but the tire business is an odd one. We are working hard to expand the tire offering, however at this time we are limited to Michelin and BFG.

I believe Michelin Cup 2's were just added to the line up. I know some of the GT350 guys will be happy about that :cool:

We’ve made a change to this deal that you’ll appreciate.

We lowered the participation requirement for the max discount ($250 off + Free Shipping) to just 35 pledges. It was previously 40.

At this time we already have 33 pledged. With 66 enthusiasts interested we should achieve the max discount with ease.

We did this to make sure we can hit the max discount. Long story short, this will avoid any headaches with this deal we were previously worried about from a technology perspective.

Enjoy, and have a great weekend.
