review on apex FL-5 anyone?

Wondering if anyone has experience with FL-5s, which is one of apex's newer models. How do they hold up on track?

Why wouldn't they hold up on track? They are stronger than old models and I've never had issues with EC7s or ARC8s. Tracks aren't hard on wheels, rallies are and even then, having a wheel that will withstand a very hard impact jeopardizes your suspension. In WRC, they choose a certain strength because they would rather have the wheel break than suspension.

In conclusion, Apex wheels are great and you won't have any issues unless you hit something huge.

Appreciate the insight! I know they are stronger than previous models in theory, just want to know some real-life experiences.

OP, our new FL-5 wheels take the strength and durability of our original wheels to the next level. We have many happy customers using them on track with no issues If you have any questions about what setup will work best for you, don't hesitate to reach out!

Here is an awesome action shop of one of our customers and his FL-5 wheels
