► New Stronger & Lighter SM-10 & FL-5 Wheels by APEX
Last year APEX worked with the community to develop a new and improved track wheel. Over 700 of you took our lengthy survey and we ended up moving forward with both proposals instead of just one. You wanted a wheel that was lighter and stronger than our more recent designs. The SM-10 and FL-5 were developed based on your feedback.
Both wheels arrive early-mid June 2017, and we’re already working on expanding the number of available sizes. Feature Highlights:
Style is the lowest priority on our list. We prioritize function over form. These wheels keep the superior BBK clearance of our older EC-7 design. Brembo 380mm and other 380mm kits can clear. We beefed up the inner lip by adding extra material, resulting in better protection again bends during serious abuse. These Evolution line designs are produced via flow-forming. This process roll forges the barrels, reducing weight and gives the wheel the strength it needs take on the street and the track. SM-10 Sizes and Specifications The SM-10 combines a straight 10-spoke design with “I” beam machining to produce a lightweight wheel that is a departure from our traditional mesh styles. Multiple face profiles continue to provide superior big brake clearance and maximized concavity for all sizes.
Profile 3 Face FL-5 Sizes and Specifications The FL-5 takes advantage of Dual Flow Forming plus our newest “I” beam machining technique. Still a one-piece wheel, the Dual Flow Forming strengthens both inner and outer barrels while maximizing front lip depth for each unique width and offset

Much appreciated! They look even better with a nice set of massive brakes behind them Thank you guys for the positive feedback. They sure will! Both new wheel designs were specifically mapped out to clear massive 380mm BBK's from the get-go. Pretty wheels are great and all, but maximizing performance and functionality are what drives us. - Ryan

Love the lip on the FL-5. 19x10 19x11 would be FANTASTIC! Hopefully there are plans for 19", that is.

For an E9X M3, most customers will enjoy the 18x10" ET25 square fitment with 275/35-18 tires as you mentioned. Those with supercharged E9X M3's looking to put more tire out back can run the 18x11" ET44 with 12mm spacers. - Ryan

When I go to the Apex site for this wheel, the button says "pre-order". Are they actually in stock, ready to ship? Is there a discount code for forum members?

Our website will adjust to "in stock" today, as the inventory was still being added throughout yesterday. My apologies for the confusion. We do not have any promotions going on these brand new designs at this time. These are as fresh as they get - Ryan
