Apex Wheels

Calling Porsche Track Enthusiasts!

Eric from APEX Race Parts here. (Don’t worry, I’m not just another internet sales guy - I’m actually leading APEX’s Porsche wheel development.)

For those of you who know us from our roots in the BMW world, you know that we develop our performance wheels based on real world experiences and feedback from go-fast enthusiasts. (You!) We’ve been flooded with requests to develop some Porsche-specific wheels and now we have the team in place to make it happen! We’ve got a few fitment ideas in mind, but we really want to pick your brain before we pull the trigger. Got a few minutes to help us out?

[Give us your 2 cents]

Once we get a better understanding of your deepest wishes and desires for an affordable (yet race-proven) set of shoes for your car, we’ll put our creative and engineerings minds to work to develop a lineup of APEX wheels that makes sense whether you’re in the market for street or track-worthy wheels.

So, who am I? Well, many things, but the important thing is that I’ve been neck-deep in the performance driving world for years - HDPE’ing and Time Trialing my Porsche around the Northern California tracks every opportunity that I get. If you’re like me and have spent time in the paddock, you’ve surely seen the majority of BMWs on a set of APEX wheels. Over the past 10 years, it was obvious that APEX dedicated themselves to fill voids and ease pains the BMW enthusiasts felt in regards to wheel quality, affordability, and availability. By enlisting fellow enthusiasts in the decision making process, APEX incorporated forum members into product development and connected with their community in a way that no one else in the motorsports world had. Hungry to implement that in other track oriented markets, I proposed the idea of a Porsche department to APEX, and voila! That’s why I’m reaching out to you now.

Now that we’re all gearing up for the off-season builds, repairs, and modifications, I speak for the whole team when I say that we’re ecstatic to get the wheels rolling (pun intended) on developing off-the-shelf, race engineered, lightweight fitments that are perfect for your beloved Porsche.

The best way to help would be to tell us a bit more about what you’d look for and expect in a set of track proven, dependable, and affordable wheels. When you grab your next cup of coffee, could you take a minute to share your thoughts with us?

Took the survey last night. Glad to see Apex finally get into Porsche!

Thank you sir! I appreciate your continual support and feedback throughout this process.

I love what APEX does for BMW....can't wait to see what you come up with for Porsches as well. It's been a long time coming!

Welcome! I have a couple of sets of your Arc-8s for my SpecE46 car. Light, good looking, and reasonably priced wheels. Look forward to seeing what you come up with for Porsche!

Survey complete.
Cheers!

Do you have any pictures of your SPECE46 & Porsche together? We'd love to see the two worlds collide!

Thank you all for your continual support and feedback - you're awesome and very much appreciated!

I'm excited to implement what we've successfully done with BMW over the past 10 years into the Porsche community, so thank you for helping that become reality.

Feel free to email, message, call, or comment with any more questions or advice you may want to share.

umm, gt4 fitment?

ducsfly

Ditto on Gt4 wheels.

Apex Wheels

Thanks for your inquiries, guys! If you haven't already, please share these thoughts in survey linked above.

Rest assured GT4 fitments will be offered! Would you mind sharing exactly what wheel specifications you'd like to run? As enthusiast thoughts pour in, I always like to compare my fitment spreadsheets to their fitment desires.

Apex Wheels

Thank you all for your survey feedback thus far. If you have not filled it out yet, please take a moment to let us know what your wheel preferences are. Your invaluable feedback will be directly shaping the details of our Porsche program.

lightweight/strong and no bling so they are racer cheap

Apex Wheels

That is certainly the criteria for a proper track wheel.

Just as we have for over 10 years, we're looking forward to offering that to the Porsche community.

Apex Wheels

Thank you to all of our 500+ survey participants. If you have not filled it out yet, please take a moment to let us know what your wheel preferences are.

Slow news day here, but have a question for the community.

If given the option, would you be willing to add .25lbs to the weight of each wheel for center cap accommodation? The center cone would need to be enlarged to accept an APEX or Porsche cap, thus, minimally increasing weight. Both options will still be hub-centric, so it is purely aesthetic preference.


Option 1: No center cap, .25lbs lighter
Option 2: Ability to run center cap, but .25 lbs heavier


You can mull over the pictures below and please let me know your thoughts.





I'll be running at Sonoma Raceway tomorrow, so please let me know if you're planning to go too!
