APEX FL-5 - New Wheel Design Thoughts?

[webster]

I have fallen for these. First APEX wheels with a lip. I think they look great. Hopefully a group buy soon...

Mafia member downshift has a set on order. Search for his build thread and see if he has an idea of when they'll be done. Everything we're seeing right now is a rendering.

I really like them too and have been considering them. Looking forward to seeing them on a car.

Hey guys,

I've waited about a month and production of round 1 is finally done. I will have the wheels in 18x8.5 ET35 (effective 18mm spacer front, 15mm spacer rear) on Thursday. Mounting Falken RT615K 235/40-18 on them for a beefy look and a slight stretch.

Hopefully pics on car Friday.

Also have drift day Saturday and tack day Sunday, so hopefully we'll get some action shots too.

Ya I like how they wrap through the spoke connection to each other instead of terminating at the central core.

Mounting tomorrow morning

Beauties! Are these the wide or medium lip?

[downshift]

Medium

yeah - it's gotta be stronger that way, too.

LOVE the way these look - after running Style 68s for so long this year, i love a wheel with a small amount of lip on the E46.

going to mount my ARC-8s and then make a decision on these. :)

[johnrando]

So you have two set of wheels? Nice. And agree, re: lip on an E46.

[downshift]

Alright guys...finally

[downshift]

It's a classic shot ;)

[johnrando]

Very nice! As you add pics, please shoot one straight from the side of whole car.

[Aeternalis]

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the BBS RK-style mesh.

I wish Apex would offer a lip on the ARC-8 a la the BBS RGR. Literally my dream wheel.
