The SM-10RS has Arrived!



Introducing the Forged SM-10RS. An ultralight version of our already popular SM-10 design.


We’re a function-over-form brand, so we took our time and engineered this wheel to be our best. The original SM-10 has been re-engineered with thinner spokes and extra-deep side-milling for maximum weight reduction. The SM-10RS is now our lightest wheel in some fitments and meaningfully stiffer than our popular VS-5RS.



Just like all Forged Sprint Line wheels, the new SM-10RS features:

Sprint Spec Inner Lip
Fully Forged from 6061 Aluminum
Massive Spoke and Barrel Clearance
Un-Painted Knurled Beads
Lifetime Structural Warranty
Unmatched Replacement Program










Click here for more details and to see a list of fitments for your specific chassis.

APEX SM-10RS

Click here to join one of our active Group Buys to get deep volume discounts on our existing VS-5RS and EC-7RS forged wheel designs, or to be among the first to pre-order the all-new SM-10RS!

SM-10RS Technical Video

The max discount for both deals have been unlocked and we are down to just one week remaining on both the 18" and 19" Group buys. Be sure to lock in your pledge soon if you’re looking for deep discounts on any of our Sprint Line designs. In the meantime, we’ve had quite a few questions asking how the three members of the Forged Sprint line compare with one another. We hope this new technical video helps to outline these differences and makes choosing your next set of APEX wheels even easier.





We know that the SM-10RS isn’t available yet in every fitment we make for BMWs. If you’d like to see this design get additional fitments in the future, please let us know!

You would sell more, if you add this to your fitment guide. Direct fit with stock suspension, over 1000 miles on this setup with zero issues. Would love to see someone with a BSM 1M throw a set of these in gold on for that John Player Special motif.

Enduro Line Launch & Technical Feature Video



Introducing the all new Apex Forged Enduro Line. Designed to withstand the combined stresses of extra sticky tires, crazy downforce, fast drivers, and inevitable mistakes. Available in two designs at launch. The VS-5RE and SM-10RE are strength optimized versions of our popular lightweight designs. Priced similarly to our Sprint line wheels, every enthusiast can choose which version is best for their needs.

Part of our commitment to Real Performance, these are our strongest and most durable wheels, with dramatically higher load ratings, stiffer spokes, and tougher lips than ever before.
There’s a constant industry push for lighter wheels, but if saving weight is the top priority then strength and stiffness can be compromised. We see it often in the pursuit of lower advertised weights, and many cars end up ill-equipped as a result. The reality is that all enthusiasts could benefit from stronger and stiffer wheels, while some critically require it.

Visit our website to place your pre-order now, wheels are set to arrive beginning in May. 25% deposit is required to reserve a set with Free Shipping for pre-orders included.

Link to Pre-Order

➡︎ 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum

➡︎ Heavy-duty Enduro Spec inner lip

➡︎ Stiffer side-milled spokes and lip pocketing

➡︎ Stronger 2100 lb. load rating

➡︎ Capless hub design to reduce weight

➡︎ Paintless barrel & knurled beads

➡︎ Independently tested and certified









VS-5RE










The VS-5RE is the forged Enduro version of our popular VS-5 design. These wheels bring serious strength and durability to the split 5 spoke design that BMW enthusiasts love and gives endurance racers and hardcore HDPE participants a wheel that focuses on longevity and consistency.

To view all of the VS-5RE fitments available for your BMW and order your set, Head over to our website via the link below or by clicking any of the images of these wheels.

Learn More


SM-10RE









The SM-10RE brings higher load ratings and measurable increases in strength and stiffness to our popular 10-spoke design. Initially available in fitments focused on modern M cars that are often tracked, these are perfect for wheel-to-wheel racing and focused HPDE sessions.

To view all of the SM-10RE fitments available for your BMW and order your set, Head over to our website via the link below or by clicking any of the images of these wheels.

Enduro Line Technical Feature

These wheels bring a focus to metrics beyond just light weight. Learn about the benefits of measurable increases in strength, stiffness, and durability along with how they impact Real Performance.

Some of you may have already seen the reveal of this project on our instagram, but we wanted to reach out to the BMW community on the forums as well to collect feedback about the development of a new wheel design.


Project ML-10 Background:


After Josh, one of our Senior Product Engineers installed a widebody kit on his race car project, he had to design a custom set of wheels to fit his extreme application. Originally a one off project, when he showed the team what he created, we were floored. And our community was too when we shared a picture on Instagram and Facebook.


We’ve made it an official project, but to make this wheel a reality, we need you to decide on some of the details by taking our survey.





Need more information? Subscribe to our newsletter and check out project updates along with additional photos on our website.

A Classic Returns.



Our Forged ARC-8s are back and better than ever. As part of our new Touring Line, these wheels bring Real Performance to a classic design in the fitments you love. Strength and Stiffness were prioritized in this revamp of our Forged ARC-8 and new forged features from our Sprint line were incorporated including the Sprint Line inner lip which offers more protection where it’s needed most.

Deeper Than Ever



Concavity was a priority when we designed the newest iteration of this iconic wheel. Since our profile 3 Flow Formed ARC-8s were released just after the start of Apex itself, it has become an iconic look in the BMW world. With the new freedom allowed to our engineers via the use of our Motorsport Blanks we’re now able to offer more concave fitments including profile 4 ARC-8s in select fitments for the first time ever.

A Fitment For You



We’re bringing out a large selection of our classic 5x120 BMW fitments. Check out the table below to see the fitments we’ll be bringing to market.



Dont see your preferred fitment? Let us know what sizes you’d like to see created in the future by emailing us at support@apexwheels.com


Pre-Order sale Ongoing Now.



Beyond being a classic design, the ARC-8RT is now our most affordable forged wheel design. To sweeten the deal even more for those of you who have been waiting for the return of these wheels, we’re kicking off the launch of the ARC-8RT with a Pre-Order Sale. The sooner you Pre-Order, the bigger the savings. Click the Image above to shop ARC-8RT wheels or head over to our vehicle configurators to see what ARC-8RT fitments we recommend for your BMW

Deeper Concavity: A High Profile Change



Back when we launched our first ever Forged ARC-8R wheel, we set out to make a wheel that could do it all. The old Forged ARC-8R featured an 1800 lb load rating, which made it a bit heavy. It also had great brake caliper clearance, because its spokes were less concave than the Flow Formed version of the wheel. The result was a lot of compromise, and it didn’t excel in any specific area.

Fast forward to today. With the recent addition of the Enduro Line, a Forged ARC-8 would no longer need to sport a high load rating. To save weight, we brought the load rating down to match the specs of the Sprint Line family. Because Sprint line wheels already offer exceptional brake clearance for most every caliper, we could let the ARC-8RT’s spokes go as aggressively concave as possible, only giving up clearance for a few race calipers that our other wheels can clear.

With less constraint related to clearing the largest brake kits, more concavity is possible with these new ARC-8RTs. The 19x11 ET44 on the rear of this F87 M2 is a perfect example of a profile 4 ARC-8RT, the most concave ARC-8s we’ve ever produced.

Three distinct forged families allow these wheels to exist with less compromise and more of the features that fans of the ARC-8 love.

ML-10RT now available for Pre-Order

The ML-10RT forged wheel started life as an engineering passion project. You brought it to life.

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. The green flag has dropped and the Forged ML-10RT pre-sale is officially underway! Reserve your set now to ensure you receive wheels from the first production batch, and save 15% off + free shipping in the continental U.S. Due to extremely high demand, we expect a number of popular fitments and finishes to sell out, so act fast. Pre-order discounts are based on product availability, and are subject to change at any time. Please note we fulfill orders in chronological order, so the sooner you place your pre-order, the faster you will get your wheels.


Features

AN EVOLUTION OF PERFORMANCE - The ML-10RT honors the motorsport designs so many of us fell in love with during the golden era of Touring Car and Sports Car racing. However, its ancestry ends there. Our in-house engineering team pulled out all the stops to create a monoblock forged wheel that's lighter, stronger and stiffer than multi-piece wheels of the past. Utilizing the latest forging technology to offer an impeccable design, backed by Real Performance, at an obtainable price point.



SIDE-MILLED SPOKES - The ML-10RT incorporates Apex’s extra-deep, side-milled spokes. Any excess material that doesn’t add strength is carved out using a precision CNC ball cutter. Often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, this aggressive side-milling shaves critical weight, and adds a sharp contrast in the design of the center spoke area.

SPRINT INNER LIP - The ML-10RT borrows the race-proven Sprint Spec inner lip from our Sprint Line wheels, providing critical strength to the unsupported inner lip of the wheel. Adding 32% more material where it matters most. Don’t settle for under-engineered wheels, attack both the track and your cities potholes with confidence

10K TONS OF PRESSURE - To make our forged wheels the strongest we can, we applied as much pressure as possible using a 10,000 ton forge. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminum by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure.



TRUE MOTORSPORT BLANKS - Many companies use 3rd-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. We designed our very own blank profiles from scratch to give us total control over the final product.

INDEPENDENTLY TESTED - We don't rely solely on computer simulations or unverifiable in-house testing. We believe independent testing is critical to protect consumers in this unregulated industry. Our Touring Line wheels are independently tested by ITS at their Michigan facility following JWL standards but pushed to much higher loads and much longer durations.

MACHINED LIP - The ML-10RT is our first forged wheel to feature a machined lip, which really makes it a standout design within the Apex catalog. The lip in combination with the mesh center pays homage to the glory days of motorsport, and is sure to dramatically transform the look of any car. The best part - the machined lip has a gloss clear coat and doesn't require polishing.



VEHICLE SPECIFIC SPOKE PROFILES - The lipped design of the ML-10RT inherently limits brake clearance. Rather than making every fitment as conservative as possible, we utilized our extensive 3D vehicle scanning library to shrink wrap each fitment's spoke design around respective OEM and popular aftermarket brake kits. Leveraging our vehicle research and engineering team, we find a perfect balance of concavity and brake clearance.



BUILT FOR IMPACT SOCKETS - Don’t settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All Apex wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast.

OEM CENTER CAP COMPATIBILITY - Love that OEM+ look? Us too. Our engineers went the extra mile and incorporated a flush mounted OEM center cap support into the ML-10RT. Whether you want to show off your included Apex center caps or stick with your OEM caps, the ML-10RT will seamlessly accept both.

LASER-ENGRAVED SPECS - As car enthusiasts ourselves, we know how frustrating it is to locate and decipher wheel specs that have been hastily marked on a wheel or become unreadable over time. Our Touring Line wheels have laser-engraved specs on the barrel, in plain sight, making them easy to find and read.



Pre-Order your set of ML-10RT today

Buy with confidence. With only a 25% deposit initially required for these wheels, you can Pre-Order today and lock in the deep discount and ensure you get your preferred fitment and finish early. Don’t miss your chance to be the among the first to run this all-new Apex design.

Check out your vehicles wheel configurator or Fitment Guide for availabile wheel sizes and fitment information such as tire options and brake clearance.

Might be down for a set for my clone but I'd really love to see a set test fit on a 1M before I buy yet another set of wheels.

We don't have any renders scheduled for a 1M but I'll certainly try to keep a eye out for local volunteers to bring one in at some point!

There is a direct fit in 19" for 1M
19x9 et30
19x10 et25

I'm thrilled with the spacer-less 18" setup I'm running on my 1M now, though, and would have to run spacers on the 18x9.5 et35s to reproduce it.
265/35 on 18x9.5 et35 + 7mm spacer > et28
295/30 on 18x10.5 et22
