edit: looking at the OP with the size list, it states on the bottom in fine print "** these sizes will be available for pre-order in Q4"

With our new forged wheels, we have introduced two new finishes, Brushed Clear and Polished, which have been received very well. I would suggest checking those out if you are interested in something more unique. Quote:

Many wheels offered by other manufacturers use readily available blanks instead of their own proprietary designs. The existing blanks offered do not match the brake clearance of our flow formed wheels. Our flow formed wheels have custom profiles and we have to create our own forging dies to again deliver a wheel that features everything we want. Creating a new forging die that will work for the various future designs and fitments we plan to release is taking a bit longer than expected. Throughout the company’s history, we have always prioritized quality and functionality over reduced cost and speed to market. Rather than compromising to meet a deadline, we will push them out a little more. We could have made wheels with similar features to the competition long ago. We didn’t want to just be another spoke design. We know many of you are eager for our new 19” forged wheels, and we will continue to update the community as progress is made. -Matt

I'm in the original Group Buy on the 18" forged EC7's. The advertised ship date was December, but as of the last email on 12/30, has now shifted to "early to mid February." Considering these are my new summer/track wheels I've been patient over the winter, as long as they actually get here by mid-Feb so I can get the new tires mounted before March.
Matt / Apex: To be improved - The updates could certainly be more frequent as I've only had two since the October confirmation. Thanks! |

Anyone that has pre-ordered from us over the past 12 years knows that we occasionally do experience delays, but it is absolutely not a trick or part of our strategy. There is no cover-up of delays. We have nothing to gain from taxing our reputation, and we offer a no cost cancelation/refund to those who cannot accept the delays. All available information indicated that our original dates were achievable. The delay that caused this was unexpected and out of our control. If we could have predicted this would happen, we certainly would have launched the preorder later. We update our threads to prevent confusion not create it, but we’re going to do an internal review of how staff does the changes as it sounds like it’s not the ideal way. As a result of what’s been learned, we’re holding off on the launch of other sizes until there are fewer variables that could cause changes to our ETAs. As we move forward with the production of our 19” Forged wheels, we will be sure to keep the community in the loop with more routine updates. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Quote:
As the wheels arrive and get processed, we’ll make sure to provide more updates as requested. With the participation of the community, we were able to reach a discount of $400 off, plus free shipping ($100+ value) for our first launch of forged wheels.

My 18x10 EC-7R's finally arrived! They look great and are ridiculously light, tire shop guys were beside themselves. Ironically, the knurled beads caused them some difficulty in mounting, maybe not used to working with wheels at this level. Did result in a tiny scratch on one wheel that's only visible up close. Didn't put on car yet since its still winter here in the PNW. Will do some photos in a few weeks.

Generally, knurled bead seats don't affect mounting too badly. They definitely do make it more difficult to rotate the tire on the bead seat so that may have taken your shop by surprise! -Tom

Any chance that the forged versions would allow these face designs for the 5x130 lineup?
