Our customer Grayson (@deity.46) sent in these shots of his new set of VS-5RS wheels on his F80. While staggered fitments are a common option for these cars, this 18x10 ET25 square setup looks undeniably fantastic on a set of Anthracite VS-5RS wheels.


Wheels: VS-5RS
Front & Rear: 18x10 ET25

Tires: Yokohama Advan APEX
Front & Rear: 275/40-18

We’ve loved seeing all of our M car customers on these VS-5RS wheels, but it's about time we showed some non-M chassis some love. Our Customer Liza (@htemup_b58) sent in these shots of her 440i F36 Gran coupe on an aggressive staggered set of our 18” VS-5RS wheels:

Wheels: Brushed Clear VS-5RS
Front: 18x9 ET30
Rear: 18x9.5 ET35

Tires:
Front: 255/40-18 Michelin PSS
Rear: 275/35-18 Hankook Z214 C5

This staggered setup is a great fit for her big turbo build and the wheels really look stunning on the 4 series platform.

Our 19” photoshoots are still underway to support the upcoming Group Buy. We can’t share the photos yet, but these wheels look great on the BMWs and other makes we’ve seen them on thus far and we’re excited to share them with you shortly. If you’re in the bay area and are interested in volunteering for an APEX photoshoot, our online form is still live!

Currently we plan on getting the 19” Group Buy live later this month with the first release of our EC-7RS design in the BMW market alongside the VS-5RS wheels. Stay tuned!

M2 Competition Sneak Peek

We have a full feature of this car on the way including a mod list, but here is a quick look at our Brushed Clear 19” Sprint™ line wheels on an M2 competition.

With 22 days left in our ongoing 19” Group Buy, we wanted to feature a few non-M 3 and 4 series on our 19x9 ET30 VS-5RS wheels. This is the least aggressive width and offset that we are launching during this Group Buy making it an excellent OEM+ option for front M-car fitment or square fitments on non-M 3 & 4 series detailed below.

Hi there,

The EC-7RS is actually only available in 19" fitments at the moment. However, the 18x9" ET30/ET31 fitment can clear F8X standard brakes in our VS-5RS and flow formed EC-7 design without any issues.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out! :thumsup:

JOIN THE GANG


To streamline pledging and fitment selection, we use GangUp to track interest and pledges. This system lets you commit at your preferred discount level and removes the old-school headache of forum threads and email chains as a Group Buy heats up. Watch the video below to learn how GangUp works and how to pledge.


These Group Buys depend on the enthusiast community to succeed. More pledges mean deeper discounts and more competition for popular fitments and finishes. Make sure you pledge early to get the best possible allocation for your preferred set of Sprint Line wheels.

THE DESIGNS

SM-10RS

Introducing the Forged SM-10RS. An ultralight version of our already popular SM-10 design. We’re a function-over-form brand, so we took our time and engineered this wheel to be our best. The original SM-10 has been re-engineered with thinner spokes and extra-deep side-milling for maximum weight reduction. The SM-10RS is now our lightest wheel in some fitments and meaningfully stiffer than our popular VS-5RS.

Image hosted on: live.staticflickr.com


VS-5RS

The VS-5RS was built to be extremely light while still offering a meaningful strength increase over our flow formed wheels. For those looking to shed as much weight as possible to improve lap times.

Image hosted on: live.staticflickr.com

EC-7RS

Our stiffest design, the EC-7RS is meant for the drivers who want to prioritize stiffness while still maintaining the lightweight and classic motorsports looks that our customers are looking for.

SM-10RS Technical Video


The max discount for both deals have been unlocked and we are down to just one week remaining on both the 18" and 19" Group buys. Be sure to lock in your pledge soon if you’re looking for deep discounts on any of our Sprint Line designs. In the meantime, we’ve had quite a few questions asking how the three members of the Forged Sprint line compare with one another. We hope this new technical video helps to outline these differences and makes choosing your next set of APEX wheels even easier.

We know that the SM-10RS isn’t available yet in every fitment we make for BMWs. If you’d like to see this design get additional fitments in the future, please let us know!
