Hi Everyone,

We recently completed the first series of on car test fitments on this beautiful Race Red GT350. This is the first time we have seen our new 19” Mustang SM-10 wheels physically mounted to a vehicle, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Beyond the new SM-10 wheel design and its impressive features, this photoshoot highlights our new 19x11.5” ET56 rear wheel fitment which are wrapped in 325/30-19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

The setting is Sonoma Raceway, an environment both the GT350 and APEX wheels are quite accustomed to.

We have just over a month remaining on this deal, don’t wait until the last minute to submit your pledges. Pledging early locks in your desired color choice and it means your wheels are the first to ship out once we receive them. There is ZERO RISK to submit your pledge now! If you have any questions feel free to message us here or send an email to [email protected]

Hello Everyone,

A quick update as we near the last 20 days of this Group Buy. We have scheduled test fitment and photography sessions for two customer cars which will take place early next week.

For all our S197 enthusiasts out there, we are excited to get our first look at SM-10’s mounted on a track prepped S197 chassis. This shoot will feature our popular 19x10” ET40 rotatable square fitment, with 285/35-19 Michelin PS4S tires. To add to our arsenal of GT350 photography, the second test fitment and photoshoot will include a Ruby Red GT350 featuring our 19x11” ET26 front and 19x11.5” ET56 rear staggered fitment, also wrapped in Michelin PS4S tires. We look forward to updating you next week with the results.

With just three weeks remaining in the Group Buy, now is the time to convert your interest into an official pledge. We are thankful for the support you all have shown so far, but we need everyone’s participation to reach the maximum discount tier.

Hello Everyone,

We are excited to release photos of the first S197 Mustang running our new 19” SM-10 wheels, featuring a very balanced rotatable square fitment with 19x10” ET40 wheels wrapped in 285/35-19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. This track prepped Mustang is sitting pretty along the Vancouver Waterfront, highlighting the SM-10’s versatility to perform well at the track and on the street.

Next up, our second GT350 test fitment courtesy of this lovely Ruby Red machine featuring our 19x11” ET26 and 19x11.5” ET56 staggered OEM “R Spec” wheels. This fitment looks right at home on the standard Shelby and should provide owners with increased grip, performance and ample caliper clearance.

Hello Everybody,

This deal has gone well so far, but with only 8 days remaining, it’s time for many of you to come back to finish pledging. With just a few more pledges we can hit the maximum discount tier of $400 off + free shipping*. As of today, there are 95 people interested in the deal, which is more than double the number of people needed to reach the best discount.

Production has already started, and there will be limited quantities of each size and finish for this initial production batch. We allocate wheels in the order that pledges are submitted, therefore, submitting your pledge as early as possible greatly increases your chances of avoiding a sold-out situation for your selected size or finish.

We’ve run a lot of successful Group Buy’s and momentum is everything. The more people that officially pledge early on, the quicker we can unlock the maximum discount tier. There is no advantage in waiting until the last minute to see what happens - a common misconception that ultimately limits the deal's potential. With the ability to pick your own required discount, there is ZERO risk to submitting a pledge early. If the deal does not reach your required discount tier, your order is simply canceled.

If you haven’t pledged because you need help with something, please reach out to us. We’re here to answer any question you may have from recommended tires to complimentary suspension components. We want to make sure these wheels play nice with all your other performance parts.

@APEXRaceParts looking at the Cortex JRi SA coilover kits for my 2018 GT with the offset strut, what options are available for the front wheel setup? Still just a 19x10 with a 305 to clear the GT350R brakes like I had asked, or is there hope of fitting in a wider setup like a 19x10.5 or a 19x11?

You have a few options to run up front depending on your desired use. All will clear the R brakes.

19x10" ET40 fits the front without a spacer, but I wouldn't run anything larger than a 285 wide tire on it. This is a rotatable fitment.
19x11" ET26 fits the front, also without a spacer, and accommodate up to a 315 wide tire. This can only run on the front, not rotated to the rear.
19x11" ET52 in conjunction with a spacer up front, will fit up to a 315 wide tire. Spacer size will depend on what suspension you run, which in your case with the offset JRI will likely be a 15 or 20mm. The same wheel can be used in the rear without a spacer.

What rear wheel/tire are you looking to use?

Hello Everyone,

A lot of enthusiasts have asked us about the new features and details of the SM-10 wheel design, and while images are helpful, they simply do not do the wheel justice. We took things a step further by creating the following video:


We are also excited to announce that we will be performing one more photoshoot this coming weekend, courtesy of a high powered GT500. Stay tuned for the results featured in next weeks update.

Keep in mind, there are only four days remaining on the clock. We are just a handful of pledges away from unlocking the max discount tier of $400 off + free shipping*, but we need everyone to pledge now to make this happen. If you have any questions or would like help with making a decision, please feel free to reach out to us. Our staff of Product Experts is here to ensure that your new wheel & tire setup meets your goals and exceeds your expectations.

This Group Buy closes at midnight, October 16th (PDT)

Cory,

Looking at a 19x11.5 rear with a 325/30R19 tire. Still trying to decide fronts because I’m not sure if I’ll go JRi offset strut this upcoming season or wait until the following season.

Cool, in that case I would get the 19x11" ET26 because you don't need a spacer no matter what dampers you run. With the 11.5" rear wheel, you won't be able to rotate so might as well get the front wheel that doesn't require a spacer. You could get 19x10" ET40 but I would be worried about how much understeer you would experience with that stagger.

Hi Everyone,

As we head into the weekend, we would like to provide all of you with a brief tutorial video on how to navigate the GangUp site. We know this site is relatively new and the strategy for success may not be obvious.

Your instincts are probably telling you to wait and see what happens with the deal before you pledge. We have worked with a lot of enthusiasts over the years, and this is by far the biggest misconception which ultimately limits the deal's potential in a big way.

If your strategy is to wait to pledge until the group achieves its goal, then you’re not really a part of the group or contributing to reach the desired discount tier. The act of pledging is what moves the needle towards your desired discount. If everybody waited, nothing would be accomplished. The GangUp site allows you to pledge at any time, risk-free, and your order is only processed if your desired discount tier is met.

We all have the same goal of receiving product at the best price possible, so here are some tips for getting the most out of these deals:

Great news everyone! We’ve officially reached the max discount tier of $400 off plus free shipping*, and we still have over 35 hours left for others to join in on the savings.

For enthusiasts in the market for a lightweight set of 19” wheels optimized and strengthened specifically for the Mustang chassis, this is an absolute no-brainer. GT350 owners, in particular, will benefit from the fitment selection and massive big brake clearance the 19” SM-10 design offers.

We are also excited to show off images from our latest photo shoot. This GT500 is rocking our 19x10” ET40 SM-10’s in a rotatable square fitment, and wheels are wrapped in 285/35-19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The SM-10 knurled beading helps prevent tire slippage, and with over 900 HP under the hood of this GT500, this feature plays a crucial role in keeping a balanced wheel and tire assembly during acceleration and declaration.

We are pleased to report that everything is on time as originally scheduled. Wheels are expected to arrive in the first week of December, and everyone will receive UPS tracking numbers by email once your package has been shipped.

Happy Thanksgiving from the APEX team.
