Just ordered: Apex Race Wheels - 18x10 et 43

[gleek48]

I just ordered a set of the Apex EC-7's in Anthracite.

Spoke to the Apex team and they seem like a good group who cares about auto enthusiasts. Ryan at Apex indicated that they plan to offer additional wheels (including a 19 inch) in 2015.

More pictures to come once mounted later this winter.

I'm familiar with these from my M3 days... Didn't know they had a mustang set-up. Post pics when you mount pls! Need to pick up some 18s myself. What size tires can you fit on these?

I am likely going to put 295/35-18's on the rear and 265/35 or 275/35 or 275/40 on the front at first. Since I am keeping the stock suspension at first, I don't want to induce the snap oversteer until it is dealt with in a new suspension set up.

I see that their regular EC-7 wheel is on BF sale for 250ea, did they give you the same deal for the mustang version?

No, but I got $50 off a set plus free shipping.

Nice looking wheels

Look a lot like my FRPP BBS wheels and similar weight, but half the price

Any idea where these are made?

EDIT - Given JWL testing and VIA certification, I'm guessing Japan?

Not sure where they are made, but was told in Asia. Once I get the package, I will let everyone know.

Apex has a pretty good reputation with the BMW community and seemingly caters to the motorsports world.

They are not forged, but use the flow form casting method. Supposedly stronger than normal cast wheels.

They are made in China. Apex is local to me and just about every BMW I see in the paddock runs them.

Good to know we have other options. Wish we had the same sale price.

After traveling for a bit, just had time to open a box for the wheel. I will be installing them next year. So for now, they are under the tree!

Good looking BBS knock off.

Did you ever get these wheels mounted?

Unfortunately, not yet. It's been crazy at work compounded with the cold/snow. Looking to get this done in March. I will post pictures when complete. I have a room full of parts that need to get bolted on!
