A new look from Apex! We've recently undergone a lengthy rebranding process that sees our name change from APEX Race Parts to Apex Wheels, new logos, and many more exciting things along the way.
Our website address has also changed, apexwheels.com, with an all new user interface which allows for more info, easier ordering, and an extensive vehicle gallery to help you decide on that perfect setup.
Please note all wheels and merchandise will still be shipping with the original branding for the next few months.
**If you're looking to buy 1 or 2 spare wheels to complete a set, have for backups, etc, now is the time to do so to ensure they match. Waiting until the new year could mean we're out, and old logo products won't be returning!**

Is there any plan to carry the SM-10RS in brushed clear in the future in C7 Z06 fitment? Looking to order a set of 18x11” and 18x13” but unfortunately that awesome brushed clear finish isn’t showing as an option. Not looking to do the VS-5RS since it doesn’t come in a 18x13” rear.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Is gloss black available as custom color?

We don't offer anything custom that's not shown on the site, which would be Satin Black in this case. I will say, our Satin Black has a lot of gloss in it and is in no way close to matte black. I have a set on my C6 and it's dang near gloss black at first glance.

Hey there, right now no plans for Brushed Clear on the SM-10RS, and to be honest it isn't really something we anticipate doing in the future either. The SM-10RS is our most track focused wheel we currently offer, and while it's beautiful, the Brished Clear finish typically isn't a fan favorite for those applications.
- There are no 18x13 VS5-RS offerings / offsets from other platforms that would would work or could be adapted for C7 wide body rear fitment, correct?
- Are there any particular considerations to keep in mind if I were to buy a set of Apex Sprint Line forged wheels with the intent of having them stripped and refinished in a brushed clear?
- Any pictures of Anthracite SM-10RS on a Lemans Blue C7?
- When will the Black Friday sale be going live?
Thanks!

Gotcha. I saw Motorsport Gold being offered which I would imagine is a lower volume seller so I figured I’d ask haha. A couple follow-up questions:
- There are no 18x13 VS5-RS offerings / offsets from other platforms that would would work or could be adapted for C7 wide body rear fitment, correct?
- Are there any particular considerations to keep in mind if I were to buy a set of Apex Sprint Line forged wheels with the intent of having them stripped and refinished in a brushed clear?
- Any pictures of Anthracite SM-10RS on a Lemans Blue C7?
- When will the Black Friday sale be going live?

2. Refinishing the wheel does void any and all warranties, so that would be the biggest thing to consider.
3. I don't believe we have that exact photo combo, you can view all of the Corvette images we have here: https://apexwheels.com/gallery/chevrolet/corvette
4. The sale goes live on November 20th, you can enter your email here to be notified: https://apexwheels.com/blackfriday

1. Correct on the VS-5RS, only the Corvette specific wheels should be used on there and 18x12.5" ET52 is the widest in that design. The SM-10RS is going to be your best bet.

One other thing, it seems the links to BBK clearance charts/tables is broken. Can you link or PM me a screenshot of the C7 wide body BBK clearance chart? Specifically looking for clearance compatibility of the 18” VS-5RS and SM-10RS C7 wide body fitments with AP 9668 and 9450 kits.

Introducing the all new Apex Forged Enduro Line. Designed to withstand the combined stresses of extra sticky tires, crazy downforce, fast drivers, and inevitable mistakes. Available in two designs at launch. The VS-5RE and SM-10RE are strength optimized versions of our popular lightweight designs. Priced similarly to our Sprint line wheels, every enthusiast can choose which version is best for their needs.
Part of our commitment to Real Performance, these are our strongest and most durable wheels, with dramatically higher load ratings, stiffer spokes, and tougher lips than ever before.
There’s a constant industry push for lighter wheels, but if saving weight is the top priority then strength and stiffness can be compromised. We see it often in the pursuit of lower advertised weights, and many cars end up ill-equipped as a result. The reality is that all enthusiasts could benefit from stronger and stiffer wheels, while some critically require it.
Visit our website to place your pre-order now, wheels are set to arrive beginning in May. 25% deposit is required to reserve a set with Free Shipping for pre-orders included.

We do plan to release 19x12.5" ET55 at a later date in the VS-5RE design, but no ETA currently.
Not at the moment, but we do have 18x10" ET58, 19x11" ET78 lined up for Q3/Q4 this year in the VS-5RS design.
You can order them directly through our website, or if there is an authorized dealer you work with, you can order through them. Pricing will be the same, and we don't have any stocking dealers in CA so they would ship from our warehouse regardless of who you order through.
