Still thinking about Cup 2s for the Apexes with the next go round, but it'll probably be a while as I just replaced the front PS4S. I really liked the Cup 2s as everyday tires on a GT4 over two years & 14,000 miles here in Northern California, for the majority of the year anyway.
Quite significant difference on the fronts:

The Apex website is showing 90+ days for a while now. Does anyone have any insight on when they will deliver the next set? Would like to have a set for the summer.

We are working on getting everything restocked after a very successful Black Friday sale took most of our inventory. If you have any specific questions feel free to shoot me a PM or an email and I can get you best ETA I can at this time.

Any further updates on orders placed on the Black Friday Sale? I called today and was told I was still in the "90 days plus" status.

I sent you a PM with a more narrowed-down ETA, which is sooner than that 90 day.

Guys, even at 90 days wait, these wheels are like a deal and a half. You aren't going to find anything with this precise 991.2 fitment, quality finish, features (knurled edge, etc.), and weight for anything less than 2.5 times what you will pay for these. I know, because I looked for a long time before Apex had there 991.2 offering. Up until Apex's 991.2 fitment was offered, you were looking at HRE, Forgeline, etc. All at a materially higher price point.

I picked up a set during the Black Friday sale. Finally got around to getting tires. Loving the new look!

I went this 4S in the N0 or Porsche spec. I think the 305s run a little wider than standard 305s. 245/35 and 305/30.

Looks like the availably date on the VS-5RS keeps moving back.

So I'm wondering if the 19" option will work a street oriented tire. Don't want to run an R-compound as this is my daily. Anyone try the Hankook's on the street? I love it on the track.
