Our expanded catalogue brings together APEX’s flow formed and forged collections for a broad range of vehicles, extending beyond BMW to Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, Toyota, Subaru, Honda, Mazda, Ford, Chevrolet and more.
From the familiar ARC-8 to the lightweight forged Sprint Line, machined-lip Touring designs and reinforced Enduro wheels, the collection offers a considered choice for road cars, track builds, performance SUVs and EVs. Each line has its own priorities, supported by the engineering, fitment development and testing that define APEX.
Why Choose APEX Wheels?
A well-designed performance wheel brings together several qualities: low weight, appropriate load capacity, structural stiffness, brake clearance and a fitment that works with the vehicle. APEX’s approach considers how these qualities work together.
Its engineering process uses computer analysis to identify highly stressed areas, reinforce critical sections and remove material where it contributes little to strength. Features such as deep spoke machining and reinforced inner lips are the result of that process, giving each design a practical role beyond its appearance.
This approach also explains the breadth of the range. A lightweight sports car, a circuit car running high-grip tyres and a powerful SUV place different demands on their wheels. APEX develops distinct solutions for those applications, allowing owners to choose according to their vehicle and the way they drive.
Fitment Developed Around The Vehicle
APEX uses detailed vehicle research, 3D scanning and test fitting to develop wheel specifications around the space available. Brake calipers, suspension components and bodywork all influence the final width, offset, barrel shape and spoke profile.
That work allows APEX to explore useful combinations of tyre width, brake clearance and concavity. Its fitment guides then explain the available setups, from straightforward road applications to more aggressive combinations that may require alignment changes or other modifications. The benefit is a more informed starting point when choosing wheels for a specific car.
Independent Testing Behind The Design
APEX combines its engineering analysis with independent physical testing. Its published testing programme includes cornering fatigue, radial fatigue and impact testing, with documentation that helps buyers understand how the wheels have been assessed.
Its published programme includes certification through Japan’s VIA alongside testing by specialist independent laboratories in the United States. For newer forged families, APEX has commissioned tests at higher loads and longer durations than standard JWL requirements. This attention to verification is an important part of the brand’s performance credentials.
Flow Formed Or Forged: Understanding The Choice
APEX offers both manufacturing methods because each serves a useful place in the range.
Flow forming refines the barrel of a cast wheel using pressure and rotation, improving its mechanical properties and allowing weight to be reduced. It gives the Classic and Evolution lines a strong balance of capability and value for road and track use.
Fully forged construction starts with a forged aluminium blank that is extensively machined into the finished wheel. APEX’s current forged families use 6061-T6 aluminium and purpose-designed motorsport blanks produced using a 10,000-tonne forging press. This gives its engineers greater freedom over spoke geometry, reinforcement and the final balance of weight, stiffness and strength.
The most suitable choice depends on the particular design and application. Within APEX’s forged range, Sprint, Touring and Enduro each use that manufacturing flexibility to pursue a different set of priorities.
A Guide To The Five APEX Wheel Lines
The APEX range is organised into five distinct lines, each offering a different balance of styling, construction and performance. Classic and Evolution deliver the versatility and value of flow formed wheels, while the forged Sprint, Touring and Enduro lines focus on low weight, distinctive design and increased durability respectively. Together, they give enthusiasts the freedom to choose a wheel that suits their vehicle, driving requirements and preferred style.
Flow Formed Classic Line
The Classic Line established APEX’s reputation among road and track enthusiasts. Its two designs remain relevant through their combination of recognisable motorsport styling, carefully developed fitments and accessible flow formed construction.
ARC-8 — The Original APEX Design
The ARC-8’s curved split-spoke design has become closely associated with APEX. Developed around low weight and an understated motorsport appearance, it remains a natural choice for owners who want a wheel that suits both a road car and a dedicated circuit build.
Concave face profiles are available in selected sizes, while its broad appeal comes from a design that complements many generations of performance car. For enthusiasts seeking a classic APEX look, the ARC-8 is the starting point.
EC-7 — Classic Styling With A Focus On Clearance
The EC-7 combines split seven-spoke styling with an emphasis on accommodating performance brakes. APEX develops its barrel and spoke profiles around relevant brake packages, giving owners useful options where clearance can otherwise restrict wheel choice.
Multiple face profiles balance concavity with the space required by the application. The result is a versatile design for road and track use, particularly where brake clearance is a deciding factor.
Flow Formed Evolution Line
The Evolution Line advances APEX’s flow formed offering through additional machining and reinforcement. Both designs use a reinforced inner lip and shaped spokes to manage weight while maintaining the strength required for demanding driving.
VS-5 — Split Five-Spoke Styling In A Flow Formed Wheel
The VS-5 brings the visual character of APEX’s forged VS-5RS to the flow formed range. Its open split five-spoke layout is paired with deep side-milling, which removes excess material from the sides of the spokes.
A reinforced inner lip, high-clearance barrel design and application-specific face profiles give it a substantial technical specification. It is a compelling option for owners drawn to the VS-5RS aesthetic who prefer the value of flow formed construction.
SM-10 — Clean Ten-Spoke Design With Advanced Machining
The SM-10 has a straightforward ten-spoke layout, with much of its detail found in the machining. Recesses along the sides of each spoke create an I-beam effect, reducing material where it contributes little to strength.
Combined with its reinforced inner lip and attention to brake clearance, this makes the SM-10 a versatile option for a wide range of performance applications. Its clean appearance suits owners who favour a restrained design with functional engineering detail.
Forged Sprint Line
The Sprint Line is developed for drivers who place a high priority on reducing wheel weight. Forged construction allows extensive spoke machining, while reinforced Sprint Spec inner lips retain material in a critical area of the wheel. The range also incorporates details such as unpainted knurled bead seats to help resist tyre movement under demanding use.
VS-5RS — A Lightweight Split Five-Spoke Design
The VS-5RS is one of APEX’s defining forged wheels. Its sharply detailed split five-spoke face combines deep side-milling with an open layout, producing one of the lightest choices in the catalogue across many comparable fitments.
Vehicle-specific spoke profiles and a high-clearance barrel support its performance focus. It is particularly appealing for owners seeking meaningful wheel weight reduction alongside a modern, recognisable APEX design.
SM-10RS — Low Weight With An Emphasis On Stiffness
The SM-10RS develops the ten-spoke concept through fully forged construction and extensive I-beam machining. Its spoke geometry is engineered to deliver high stiffness while keeping weight close to the VS-5RS in comparable specifications.
This balance gives it a distinct position within the Sprint Line. The evenly spaced spokes provide a clean appearance, while the detailed machining, reinforced inner lip and brake clearance make it a considered choice for demanding road and track builds.
EC-7RS — Mesh-Inspired Styling With Forged Precision
The EC-7RS evolves APEX’s split seven-spoke design into a fully forged performance wheel. Thin, deep spokes create its intricate face, with wider and deeper side-milling helping remove unnecessary material.
Within the Sprint family, the EC-7RS places a particular emphasis on spoke stiffness. It combines that focus with the line’s reinforced inner lip and performance features, making it an appealing option for owners who prefer traditional mesh-inspired styling with modern forged engineering.
SM-8RS — Developed For The Mazda ND MX-5
The SM-8RS adapts the engineering approach of the SM-10RS into an eight-spoke design developed for the Mazda ND MX-5. Its I-beam spokes, forged construction and reinforced inner lip address the needs of both road and competition builds. The application-specific approach extends to brake clearance: selected wider fitments are designed around the ND’s factory Brembo brakes and relevant aftermarket brake packages. It is a focused example of APEX developing a wheel around a particular platform.
Forged Touring Line
The Touring Line gives APEX greater scope to explore styling, from familiar motorsport designs to machined-lip wheels and applications for performance SUVs and EVs. These are fully forged wheels developed with the same attention to strength, stiffness and fitment, with each design retaining its own visual character.
ARC-8RT — The Classic ARC-8, Re-Engineered
The ARC-8RT carries the original ARC-8’s appearance into a modern fully forged wheel. Revised spokes are thinner and deeper, allowing APEX to improve stiffness while refining weight and the available concavity.
A reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip and revised brake clearance complete the update. It gives owners a way to retain the familiar ARC-8 character while choosing the engineering advantages of APEX’s current forged platform.
ML-10RT — Touring Car Heritage With A Machined Lip
The ML-10RT draws on the mesh centres and pronounced outer lips associated with classic touring car and sports car racing. APEX recreates that appearance in a single-piece forged wheel, using deep spoke machining and a reinforced inner lip.
Its machined outer lip has a clear-coated finish, while application-specific spoke profiles balance the lipped design with brake clearance. It offers a distinctive heritage aesthetic supported by modern construction and fitment development.
ML-7RT — A Cleaner Interpretation Of The Machined-Lip Design
The ML-7RT combines the ML family’s pronounced outer lip with a split seven-spoke face inspired by the EC-7RS. A revised transition between the face and lip gives it a cleaner, more streamlined appearance than the more intricate ML-10RT.
Side-milled spokes and rear spoke pockets help manage weight, while forged monoblock construction and a reinforced Sprint Spec inner lip underpin the design. It is an appealing choice for owners seeking a classic lipped wheel with a less elaborate face.
SL-12RT — Twelve Straight Spokes And A Strong Visual Presence
The SL-12RT takes the Touring Line in another direction, pairing twelve straight spokes with a machined outer lip. The result is a distinctive, evenly spaced face that offers a different character from the range’s mesh and split-spoke designs.
Deep side-milling reduces unnecessary material within the spokes, while forged construction and a reinforced inner lip support its performance credentials. The design brings a bold alternative to the machined-lip collection without giving up APEX’s engineering focus.
TC-10RT — Inspired By Audi & Volkswagen Touring Cars
The TC-10RT draws its split ten-spoke appearance from the wheels used on Audi and Volkswagen TCR race cars. APEX translates that motorsport reference into a forged wheel developed specifically around supported Audi and Volkswagen applications.
Brake clearance is central to the design, particularly for platforms with large factory eight-piston calipers. Tailored hub dimensions and hardware compatibility also simplify installation on its intended applications, making it a distinctive choice with a clearly defined technical role.
VS-5RX — Engineered For Performance SUVs & EVs
The VS-5RX applies APEX’s split five-spoke design to the demands of heavier performance vehicles. Its reinforced construction draws on Enduro Line features, with stronger lips and increased spoke stiffness balanced against carefully managed wheel weight.
Developed for supported SUV and EV platforms, it also considers factory brake packages, tyre specifications and road-car details such as centre-cap compatibility. It extends the APEX approach to vehicles including selected BMW SUVs, Porsche Cayenne and Tesla applications.
Forged Enduro Line
The Enduro Line gives priority to strength, stiffness and durability. It is developed for demanding applications where high-grip tyres, vehicle mass and aerodynamic loads place greater stress on a wheel. Extra reinforcement is concentrated in the spokes and inner and outer lips, with machining used to keep the associated weight increase controlled.
VS-5RE — Reinforced Split Five-Spoke Construction
The VS-5RE retains the visual relationship to the VS-5RS while using substantially reinforced spokes and lips. Its Enduro Spec inner lip is designed around greater durability, with additional material placed in highly stressed areas.
Deep spoke machining and outer-lip pocketing help offset that extra material. The result is a wheel aimed at drivers who place greater value on strength and stiffness than the smallest possible reduction in wheel weight.
SM-10RE — Ten-Spoke Stiffness For Demanding Track Use
The SM-10RE brings the same Enduro priorities to APEX’s ten-spoke layout. Its revised spokes are engineered for greater stiffness than the Sprint version, while reinforced lips support the design’s durability focus.
Spoke stiffness helps limit wheel deflection under cornering loads, making it particularly relevant to demanding circuit use. Together with its higher load capacity, this gives the SM-10RE a clear role in serious track builds using high-grip tyres or aerodynamic upgrades.
