The Design
VS-5RS
Our lightest design ever returns, this time in a 17” diameter. We focused on widths and offsets optimized for a variety of popular E46 and E36 track and race car applications for this Group Buy. compared to our flow formed lines, wheel weights have been reduced and load ratings increased while the diameter change means more affordable tire costs for your average HPDE participant.
Built to a SPEC:
This 17” deal includes our 17x9 ET42 VS-5RS, a wheel optimized specifically for the rigors of SPEC E46 racing. APEX is no stranger to the E46 platform and spec E46 competition. This wheel was optimized specifically for the series with a weight per wheel of 16.2 lbs, the exact minimum weight allowed by SPEC E46. We could have made these wheels even lighter but we reinvested the extra material into places racers will appreciate. More robust inner lips and a higher load rating than the JWL minimums prevent bent wheels and keep you on track. Paintless knurled bead seats grip the series mandated 255/40-17 Nitto RRs and keep wheel/tire sets balanced.
Our ARC-8s in the same fitment have served us and a huge number of SPEC E46 racers well for years on track, but these new VS-5RS wheels improve on them in every way. Over 1.5 lbs lighter and stronger than the ARC-8s with fully forged construction, the new VS-5RS is ready to become the APEX standard for SPEC E46 competitors everywhere.

17” Customer Feature
Alec’s Space Gray E90 335i on 17” APEX VS-5RS wheels
While 18s and 19s are commonly run on the E9x non-m chassis, we wanted to take this opportunity to showcase these 17s on one of these cars. With aggressive drag fitments and taller sidewall tires being a popular option on modified E9X chassis, the VS-5RS are a natural fit.
17x9.5 ET35 Square
APEX Fitment notes:
Fitment shown: Brushed clear VS-5RS
17x9.5 ET35 Front & Rear VS-5RS on 255/40-17 NT01 tires
5mm front spacers used for strut clearance
17x9.5 ET35 square isn’t often run on the E9X cars but it can work with additional negative camber dialed in up front for clearance. This wheel fitment is an easy fit in the rear of the car with wider tires and taller tire sidewall options including 275/40-17 and is the choice of drag racers looking to exploit a meatier tire option ¼ mile at a time. 17x9 ET30 can be run up front for an easy staggered setup or all-around for a perfect OEM+ square fitment.
17x9 ET30 Square
Fitment shown: Anthracite VS-5RS
17x9 ET42 Front & Rear with 255/40-17 Toyo RR slick tires
12mm spacers used Front and Rear to give an effective offset of ET30
17x9 ET30 is our default square recommended fitment for this platform. Despite the smaller diameter wheels, the optimized barrel profile of both of these wheel fitments easily cleared the large aftermarket brembo brakes. Aggressive Toyo Slicks are showcased on this set of wheels as a carryover from our shoots on SPEC E46 3 series race cars.

19” Bronze Fitments Inbound
By popular demand, we’ve added Satin Bronze as a finish option to one of our most popular 19” fitments. Our current lineup of 3 finishes has already proven to be quite popular within the BMW community, but we aren’t done yet. By popular request including some of our own staff members who own F87 M2s, we’ve decided to introduce Satin Bronze in a staggered 19” fitment. Despite being engineered for the M2 Competition, these 19” wheels will work well on other BMW chassis like the F8X M3 and M4 or other applications with spacers.

19x9.5 ET28

Our most popular fitment for the M2 has been reborn. This versatile fitment is returning with an all new look.
A Closer Look
We are launching these wheels on short notice and don’t have on car samples, but we hope you’ll appreciate these photo-realistic renders put together by our team. True on car shots of this finish on other applications will also be included to give you a better sense of how the color looks in varied lighting conditions:
These wheels have already been produced and are en-route. The first run is a small production run made to satisfy immediate demand and help us justify future expansion of bronze options within the BMW space. These wheels are arriving in Mid August and are currently available to pre-order on our website.

Motorsport Gold Update
For those of you not following along with our 20” Group Buy updates, here’s a better look at our all new Motorsport Gold finish alongside our other finish options:
Video Correction: Brushed Clear is a hand-brushed finish applied after the machining that eliminates machining marks on the surface of the wheel.
This finish is arriving first in our 20” and OEM+ 19” F8X fitments but let us know if you’d like to see it expanded into our other VS-5RS fitments!
Imola F8X Double Feature
Just in case you missed it, we recently featured an F80 M3 and F82 M4 on VS-5RS wheels.

THE DESIGNS
SM-10RS
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.
VS-5RS
The VS-5RS was built to be extremely light while still offering a meaningful strength increase over our flow formed wheels. For those looking to shed as much weight as possible to improve lap times.
EC-7RS
Our stiffest design, the EC-7RS is meant for the drivers who want to prioritize stiffness while still maintaining the lightweight and classic motorsports looks that our customers are looking for.

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.

Forged ARC-8RT: 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.

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.

Centercap Support: A Community Requested feature
When the ML-10 was initially designed by our Engineer Josh, it was created without support for a centercap. This is a logical approach for his intended use case: a widebody E46 track car driven at speeds where the caps just get in the way. After we launched our ML-10 design survey, it became clear that the majority of the community preferred to have the ability to run a center cap, whether it be ours or an OEM BMW cap. Adding the material in to allow the caps to seat into the wheel changes the look of the ML-10RT design, but we love the clean cap integration. Check out the photos below to see an 18x9 ET30 5x120 BMW wheel with the center cap support
Beyond just the cap, This is our first showcase of a profile 2 wheel. This size (18x9 ET30) is one of our most popular sizes for non-M 3 series and some M cars as well. Even with a lower profile like this profile 2, the lip depth of the ML-10RT remains the same which is a unique aspect of the monoblock construction that separates this design from similar 3-piece wheels.
