Update 12.16.2016 | The Group Buy has ended, but we’ve extended the pre-sale of the new wheels!
The Group Buy ended successfully with 80 participants which earned everyone $325 off + free shipping.
For anyone who missed out the Group Buy, you may still pre-order your set at a discount through the APEX site.
- Orders placed in December will receive $200 off + free shipping
- Orders placed in January will receive $150 off + free shipping
- Orders placed in February will receive $100 off + free shipping
- Orders placed in March will receive free shipping
Not all designs, sizes and finishes could be produced. To hit production minimums some people needed to be switched to their backup choices. Everyone who purchased a set should have received an email a few weeks ago specifying the final design/size/finish they will receive. Please contact us if you did not receive your final confirmation.
We broke our own rule of requiring 8 participants per size. On certain fitments we went ahead and produced them with fewer sets sold, but some had such low demand that we had to skip them. Below is a table showing exactly what will be coming in the first batch.

We're working on a large batch of on-car renderings. We'll be trickling them out over the next month.
In most cases we will render both designs and each wheel finish into a single photo creating a set. Different photo sets will show cars from different angles, distances, sceneries, but each set will be the same photo/angle. We do not have the bandwidth to take requests for various vehicle finishes and photos, but you're welcome to photoshop the images further.
These first 2 images are from a set that shows a side profile of an E46 M3 with FL-5 18x9.5" ET35 wheel installed. We should have Race Silver tomorrow.

Bergy is correct. I have made it known to our associates that enthusiasts would like to see our new designs on a Z coupe (either Z3 M or Z4 M), but I cannot guarantee that it will become available. We have prioritized renderings for the chassis that provided us with the most survey feedback, and the last batch of renderings should comprise of something a bit different... I just do not know what that will be
Appreciate the support guys!

The New APEX 18" Wheel Group Buy enters the payment phase tonight at midnight PST (11/9). Make sure to submit your pledge and be one of the first to own a set of our new APEX wheels!
Here is a look at our new wheels on the F82 M4!

Very curious what the FL-5 will look like on a coupe.
They'll probably look really good, since they are very BBS RK-esque. I was hoping to be the first Coupe to sport them, but with a coast-to-coast move coming up in less than eight weeks, the coupe is headed down to Randy Forbes for reinforcement. On top of that, I have two wheel builds in progress, so my play money is sunk into parts right now.

11/11 Update
Alright ladies and gentleman, we’re rounding 2nd base and heading towards the second half of this Group Buy. We currently have pledges for 25 sets of wheels, which only represents a fraction of the 158 members who indicated interest during the feeler phase. The production of these new APEX designs depends on the communities participation.
We typically see a rush of buyers in the last 24 hours of every Group Buy, but there is no reason to wait. The earlier your pledge is placed, the more momentum we collectively build towards higher discount tiers. With the ability to choose your own minimum required discount (MRD), there is no risk. If your MRD isn’t hit, you aren’t obligated to pay!
The Group Buy ends Wednesday, November 16th at 11:59 PM PST - let’s finish strong!

Deal Progress
This deal is behaving just like every other deal we've run in the past. Many of you sign up early, it slows to a trickle, and then in the last 2 days everybody else jumps in. It seems we can't get people to overcome the desire to sign-up just before the cut-off. We expect 2/3+ of the participants to join in the last 48 hours.
Don't miss the cut-off. We can't add you in afterwards. Even if you're name is on the list. You must submit a pledge to get in on the deal.
Just a deposit!
The question of when you have to pay has come up multiple times. Only a $200 deposit will be charged at the close of the deal. You won't have to pay the balance until just before the wheels ship to you. That makes joining easy on the wallet.
Engineering on schedule
2D and 3D CAD models will be finished as of tomorrow. We're moving forward with tooling production the day after that which keeps this project right on schedule.
Z4 M renderings are here
We just completed our first set of renderings that show off a staggered setup of medium front and deep rear face profiles. Every other rendering so far has been the same profile all around. Checkout the photo's below.

When you say 'on schedule' I assume you mean shipping in March? As stated a few posts up, I have a big move coming up, so the timing of arrival is pretty important to me.

Update 11/15
The Group Buy is down to the last 33 hours now.
There still seems to be some confusion about how these deals work. Many of you thought you’re already part of the deal just by adding your name/email to the feeler list.
You are NOT officially part of this deal until you come back and Pledge (Add payment/shipping details).
If you haven’t already submitted your payment info, then that crucial step still needs to be completed or you will miss out on this deal. Click through the link below and complete checkout.
With the ability to choose your own minimum required discount (MRD), there is no risk. If your MRD isn’t hit, you aren’t obligated to pay.
This deal ends Wednesday, November 16th at 11:59 PM Pacific.
