    For us germans, it would be great if the testing you provide would be undertaken by TÜV. This would give you a quality stamp and allow regular usage within Germany and other countries. Over here we need to record any modifications and wheels that need to be approved.

      Thanks for the kind words! We're incredibly excited about the new Sprint Line and the future lines we can make with our new dies.
      The replacement program is such a great option for drivers that push their wheels to and beyond the limit on track. If you ever see our trailer at Laguna for an HPDE be sure to swing by and say hello!

      @@Mitchelly7 We haven't tested 255/35-19s on this fitment as the majority of our customers run 18" wheels if they are looking for a taller tire sidewall. We've seen plenty of 255/30-19s or 245/35-19s though.
      I suspect that certain tires in that size would work without rubbing, but without testing or significant customer feedback, I couldn't guarantee a rub free fit. There are also certainly wider track-oriented tires in the same size that would cause rubbing so fitment will be a fine line.

    • @Boblib1970
      @Boblib1970 7 месяцев назад

      A few months late, so you probably already have your answer, but according the members at bimmerpost message boards, yes they do. They obviously fit the rears as that tire size is a factory option, but they'll clear the front too. If it doesn't, you can always switch to 245/40/18. They will fit on that wheel, but you will just increase the fender gap by 4mm. Also, you'd have to do that tire size all the way around and not just the front because they are just barely > than the 1% range required for xdrive...but you probably already knew that.

    • @apexwheels
      @apexwheels  2 года назад +1

      The width of the wheels themselves wont contribute directly to transfer case issues. What matters most is the overall tire diameter of the wheels and tires. If you run 225/40-18 front and 255/35-18 rear tires for example you will be well within the xDrive safe 1% difference between front and rear tire diameters even with the wider wheels.
      Our F30 fitment guide lists all the various xDrive compatible tire options for staggered fitments and is a great resource: support.apexraceparts.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002945034-F3x-3-4-Series-Wheel-Tire-Fitment-Guide

    When I check on Apex website, the wheels for 2022 WRX/2020 WRX, 5 X 114.5, the rims say "Flow formed." I thought that Apex made forged rims. I presume there are forged flow formed and cast flow formed, depending on what blank is used.

    • @apexwheels
      @apexwheels  2 года назад

      Thanks for the question!
      We make both Forged and Flow Formed wheels. The 18x9.5 ET38 EC-7 in the 5x114.3 PCD designed for the WRX/STI is a Flow Formed wheel and at the time of writing this we don't have Forged options for the WRX/STI market. This may change in the future though!
      Our Forged wheels use blanks while the Flow Formed wheels are formed in moulds before the barrel of the wheel is stretched outward in a process that strengthens the material in the barrel of the wheel more than a traditional cast wheel.

      Thanks for the order! The VS-5RS look great on the GR Supra chassis. Enjoy the wheels.

    You guys need to start sourcing outside of China. With escalating tensions, your supply will suffer in years to come. Investigate sourcing out of Taiwan, perhaps BC Forged.

    Still no proper track rims 18x10.5 ET25 for Tesla Model 3. Nobody needs 9-9.5 rims.
