► APEX Wheels | Forged & Flow Formed Wheel Showroom Gallery
The purpose of this thread is to compile on-car photography and videography of Apex flow formed and fully forged wheels on various Porsche chassis while providing the community with detailed information surrounding wheel and tire fitment, alignment settings, brake and suspension clearances, and more. Whether you enjoy your Porsche on the street, or you are a weekend warrior competing for a podium spot, our seasoned experts are here to provide advice to ensure you get the most of your wheel and tire setup.
We encourage enthusiasts here on Rennlist to also share photos of their Apex wheels, and if you do, we're sure the community would greatly appreciate the supplementary information below:
- Apex wheel model, specs, and finish
- Tire model and specifications
- Suspension and brake modifications (if applicable)
We'll kick things off by showing off a favorite photo of each of our available designs in both 5 lug and centerlock applications:

I do not believe we have any 718 photos just yet, but they should start to surface in the coming weeks. I know there were a few 718 owners who purchased our wheels during the initial release. We'll certainly continue to post images as we receive them, and we hope the community does the same.

6 piston 380mm PCCB's under an 18" wheel? No problem! We can't get enough of this GT3 RS shoot which took place in our backyard at Sonoma Raceway. Some of you may have come across these photos in the 997 GT3 subsection.

Porsche 996TT featuring 18" SM-10 Wheels in Anthracite
Front: 18×9” ET46 with 255/35-18 Toyo R888 Tires
Rear: 18×12” ET45 with 315/30-18 Toyo R888 Tires
We have had many customers including member pfbz above install our 18x9" front /18x12" rear staggered SM-10 wheel configuration successfully without any modifications to the car, however, they typically limited the width of their front tire to a 245 to prevent rubbing under suspension compression. Since the goal for this car was to fully leverage the wider 9" front wheels (in comparison to our 18x8.5" ET42 "standard" front wheel option) by maximizing front tire width and mitigating understeer, 255/35-18 R888 tires were installed. These r-compound tires run wider than your average street tires, therefore, negative camber was dialed in through the Bilstein PSS10 with RSS components to eliminate rubbing and ensure proper utilization of the tires. The result is a flush staggered fitment that maximizes grip/performance front and rear, tailor-made for the 996 turbo.

Mark (RL's own "etchhead") recently mounted his new set of APEX SM-10 wheels and we think the car looks fantastic. We're looking forward to hearing Marks feedback once he's able to put the car through its paces. This machine has some of the APEX staff lurking in the RL classifieds for a clean 996TT

New Apex Wheels
Put my new wheels on for the Tarheel BMW event in March at VIR. Very impressed by the fit and finish and competitiveness of the weight compared to my CCW14`s
