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.

Here are a couple comparison shots of the multiple face profiles we offer in both the FL-5 design, as well as the SM-10. As you can see, we are still finalizing the SM-10 profile 1.

Here we have the Race Silver rendering on the same E46 M3. As a reminder, these are 18x9.5" ET35, with 275/35-18 Hankook RS-3 tires. We also mated them with a Brembo 6 piston 380mm BBK up front, and 4 piston 355mm BBK in the rear respectively. :thumbsup2:

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.

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.

[Expert@ApexWheels]

There are just 10 hours left on the Group Buy clock. This is when the last minute orders start to come in. We have more than enough interest to achieve discount levels of $300 or more.

With the ability to choose your own minimum required discount (MRD), there is no risk to join. If your MRD isn’t met, you aren’t obligated to pay, so submit your pledge now!

This deal ends tonight, November 16th at 11:59 PM Pacific - let’s finish strong!

We are confident that we can reach the second highest discount tier of $325 off, but we need your participation. Place your pledge now and select the $325 discount tier or lower to help bring these new APEX wheel designs to the community.

If you have any fitment or product related questions, or need help with completing your pledge, please be sure to contact us at groupbuys@apexraceparts.com or call us at (925) 245-0773.

This deal ends Thursday, November 17th at 11:59 PM Pacific.

The Group Buy has closed but it’s not over yet.

We have just enough participants to reach the $325 off discount tier, but we can’t yet because there are 5 people in the deal pledged to only participate at $350 off.

Those participants have 48 hours to edit their pledge down to the $325 mark by messaging us directly to confirm the change, or we risk losing it all.

Yesterday we reached out to everyone pledged too high. Everyone except for the 5 members we haven’t heard from yet have accepted the slightly lower discount.

The difference is only $25, which is just 1-2% of the set’s total cost. It’s a no brainer. Let’s make this happen.

Because of the weekend, we’ll have the final tally posted on Monday. Until then the deal graph may show the deal as totally unsuccessful. We’ll update everyone ASAP.

[Expert@ApexWheels]

It’s official, we successfully hit the $325 + free shipping* discount tier!

Going into the weekend, five members of the Group Buy were given the option to edit their discount tier from $350 off to $325 off. All five of these conversion were vital to meeting our 80 participant requirement to achieve $325 off. As of this morning, three conversions were successful, however two did not respond and the deal was in jeopardy of collapsing in on itself.

Thankfully we had two enthusiasts contact us who missed the original Group Buy sign-up window, and we were able to slide them in as replacements.
At this time, the APEX staff is combing through the details of your orders to determine if all wheel specifications and finish options can be produced. Keep your eye’s peeled for your final order confirmation email tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone who participated and for making these designs possible.
