We are making final advancements in the engineering and initial production stages prior to our initial pre-order/group buy. Please take this opportunity to share your fitment thoughts as enthusiast feedback is integral to product development.

Seen below is an IMSA ST 987 Boxster on 18” APEX SM-10. Equipped with a plethora of suspension components and Continental slicks, look out for this car on your East Coast racetracks and classified ads!

A Brembo GT brake kit is stuffed underneath the SM-10. Flaunting 380mm rotors and 6-piston front calipers, they clear the 18” SM-10 spokes and barrels with ease. Do not be forced into running larger diameter wheels than desired due to inferior brake clearance.

Should have asked this question earlier: Will these use standard Porsche ball seat bolts/nuts?

Thank you for your patience. We're nearly there - currently finalizing what fitments will be offered in our "first round." This will be followed by production and sending a batch of wheels to Japan for their JWL/VIA strength testing. Our FEA analysis and computer simulated strength tests have verified that our wheels exceed the VIA's JWL strength standards, but we habitually seek actual third party VIA testing/validation for transparency.

Yes indeed. All APEX wheels are designed to be fully compatible with Porsche's ball seat bolts, nuts, etc. and will accept the OEM Porsche center-caps.

Thank you for checking in! Good timing...

Our group buy is set to commence within the next two weeks. Final production will be determined by enthusiasts who officially pledge their interest in the group buy, and availability is prioritized in the order of which these pledges are received. The process is rather intuitive on the group buy site, but I am more than happy to answer questions at any time and help along the way.

On the group buy site, you can view detailed wheel information, the discount tiers, select your desired fitment and finish, and stay tuned for important updates. Please let me know if I can help or answer any questions!
