► New Stronger & Lighter SM-10 & FL-5 Wheels by APEX
Last year APEX worked with the community to develop a new and improved track wheel. Over 700 of you took our lengthy survey and we ended up moving forward with both proposals instead of just one. You wanted a wheel that was lighter and stronger than our more recent designs. The SM-10 and FL-5 were developed based on your feedback.
Both wheels arrive early-mid June 2017, and we’re already working on expanding the number of available sizes. Feature Highlights:
Style is the lowest priority on our list. We prioritize function over form. These wheels keep the superior BBK clearance of our older EC-7 design. Brembo 380mm and other 380mm kits can clear. We beefed up the inner lip by adding extra material, resulting in better protection again bends during serious abuse. These Evolution line designs are produced via flow-forming. This process roll forges the barrels, reducing weight and gives the wheel the strength it needs take on the street and the track. SM-10 Sizes and Specifications The SM-10 combines a straight 10-spoke design with “I” beam machining to produce a lightweight wheel that is a departure from our traditional mesh styles. Multiple face profiles continue to provide superior big brake clearance and maximized concavity for all sizes.
Profile 3 Face FL-5 Sizes and Specifications The FL-5 takes advantage of Dual Flow Forming plus our newest “I” beam machining technique. Still a one-piece wheel, the Dual Flow Forming strengthens both inner and outer barrels while maximizing front lip depth for each unique width and offset

Those are beautiful wheels, moreso knowing that function was optimized rather than styling.

Our driving force is to equip the performance driving community with quality, lightweight wheels tailored to each specific chassis, ensuring proper fitment while maximizing the fender space at hand. Incorporating this mindset, when we first release a new design or fitment for a specific chassis, our goal first and foremost is to provide track / performance driving enthusiasts with cost effective solutions which offer up maximum performance. There are a host of benefits with 18" wheels as many of you know:
With brakes increasing in size from the factory, not all wheel manufactures offer 18" wheels that can clear properly. These two new APEX designs were constructed specifically to accommodate the large factory brakes as well as a variety of massive aftermarket BBK's like the Brembo 6 piston 380mm kit. We understand that the first release may not please everyone. Once we have released wheels for this specific segment of the market, we always have the option of following up with alternate diameters and sizing should their be enough demand from the community. - Ryan

Love the new wheel designs. That 18x9 +42 is what I'm looking at to replace my current 9.5" square setup.
What profile face/lip comes with the 18x9 +42 and 18x9.5 +43 ? That's my buddies m2

Thank you for your interest. To keep this thread technical in nature, I will send you a PM with pricing.
The first batch of wheels has arrived, and a second is incoming very soon. With that said, this first wave of wheels encompasses sizes and finishes that were initially in high demand from the community (via surveys and Group Buy). The OP has the breakdown of which fitments are available this month and which are still TBD. We will certainly update the community as we "fill in the gaps" with more fitments and missing finishes. SM-10 18x8.5" ET35 - Arriving this month SM-10 18x9" ET42 - TBD - Ryan
