APEX Race Parts designs and manufactures high performance, flow-formed and forged wheels for a growing list of vehicle makes. They are constantly expanding their product line with new wheel designs, wheel accessories and other performance and race parts. It is their mission to produce and distribute high-quality performance parts that meet the demands of racing and street performance enthusiasts.
Everyone at APEX is a car enthusiast. The team understands exactly what it’s like to obsess over every little detail of a car. As racers, they also demand functionality and performance from every part they install. APEX has sold aluminium valve stems for years, and while they’re a major step up from standard rubber valve stems, they still rely on unattractive plastic caps and protrude far beyond the wheel face, making them susceptible to damage. Valve stems may seem like a small detail and are often overlooked, but APEX cares about the finer points and set out to create the ideal solution — one that simply didn’t exist on the market.
Designed by APEX’s team of in-house engineers, these valve stems feature a low profile that doesn’t extend past the face of the wheel and utilise high-quality aluminium caps. These robust, all-metal valve stems are designed to resist contact during wheel-to-wheel racing and prevent damage from kerbing.
Perfectly colour-matched to APEX wheels, these valve stems are not only functional but also provide a cohesive and refined look. Each finish is meticulously matched to APEX’s current wheel offerings, ensuring the silver valve stems look at home on Race Silver wheels, Brushed Clear models, and those featuring a machined lip.
Installing these valve stems is simple. Separate the upper and lower pieces, insert the lower portion through the valve stem hole, and thread the upper portion into place. Tighten the upper section firmly, and the installation is complete.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
There are two versions of the APEX valve stem available: a standard low-profile version and a TPMS-compatible low-profile version. The TPMS-compatible valve stems are designed specifically for use with Huf TPMS sensors only.

COLOUR MATCHING / RECOMMENDATIONS
Selecting the right valve stem colour helps achieve a cohesive and professional finish for your wheel setup. While all valve stem finishes will function identically, choosing one that complements your wheel colour can enhance the overall appearance and maintain a clean, purposeful aesthetic.
The list below outlines the valve stem colour combinations recommended by the APEX team to best match each available wheel finish.

First time at Southern BM today and it won't be my last. Efficient and quality service as I'd expected at a much more reasonable price than a BMW Dealer. The only downside, you'll drop your car off and will end up drooling over the m3s and m4s out front!
