Vote - Pick a new APEX wheel finish

APEX wheels have only been available in a few select finishes since their original release. We’d like your help picking our next standard or special edition finish. Take this short poll to vote for your favorites. Custom powder coating is costly whether that price is an extra service or built into the cost. With enough demand we can run special batches of unique colors at no added cost. Your vote can help bring them to life.

What finishes do you wish we had? Click here to vote

EDIT: 2/22/2017 Say Hello to Matte Bronze!

After receiving over 600+ survey submissions from the community stemming from these forums threads, we are excited to offer Matte Bronze as a new special finish option for select sizes. It was the most requested in our surveys, so we’re giving the community a chance to get what they want. We have officially added it as a finish option in our popular ARC-8 18" Group Buy. Join the deal to reserve your set in this unique finish today!


Bronze - In shade



Old vs. New in shade (Top: Hyper Silver, Hyper Black, Anthracite, Satin Black. Bottom: Satin Bronze, Gold, Matte Anthracite)


Old vs. New in sun (Top: Hyper Silver, Hyper Black, Anthracite, Satin Black. Bottom: Satin Bronze, Gold, Matte Anthracite)

gloss black arc-8's or gloss gold arc-8's in 18's!

what i think would be really awesome is to offer custom colors for a small added cost. they don't have to be custom like user created, but custom like the customer can pick from about 20 colors, then they get to pick gloss, brushed, or matte. i know this is more work, but for a reasonable added cost, i think you guys could make more sales simply because the cost of the wheels are reasonable to begin with.

Gloss Red, Gloss Black, Matt Bronze on both arc-8 and ec-7. This would be an awesome option so we dont have to spend more money on powdercoating. Track whee colors!

Over 300 responses have come in so far, but less than 12% of those are from the E9X M3 community. Finish preference votes are being dominated by the E46 M3 owners participating. We really don't want this community being over shadowed.

Submit your vote and represent the E9X M3 community.

I could not agree more. So tired of Jet Black with black Novillo on black wheels with 20% tint, blacked out head- and tail-lights, with monochromatic roundels ...

I have one set of ARC-8 Hyper Blacks and they are stellar looking, and two sets of EC7's, one race silver and the other anthracite.

We'll post some results soon. More votes from the E9X M3 community would help as the results are still pretty skewed when filtered for this application only. Only about 50 votes are vs. 200+ for E46. Their size/color preferences are much clearer.

I think as the E92M platform ages and prices come down, you'll see more track focused owners. Until then you might have to just cater to the E46M group.

I think gold is the way to go. Would look great as I'm going the way of my rendering ;-)
Would you ever consider making a multi spoke?
