I saw you guys updated the winter fitment . Can wait for the 18' performance setup .

Hey guys,

I'm really behind this week building and posting threads. You'll get your own post and commercial thread that goes in-depth on options here later, but our 19" Group Buy for the VS-5RS and some other options like the new SM-10RS is here:
https://www.gangup.com/apex/19-forge...s-q1-2023.html

For those of you that know exactly what you want and are comfortable ordering the wheels now, have at it! The wheels on this list arent the end of it though as I'm trying to get 18" and 20" added as well all in G42 fitments.

More details and a full thread post to follow. I'm happy to jump into questions about the deal then as well.

-Tom

Thanks Tom! My son just told me you have new SM-10 wheels on Instagram, so I'll figure out what I want between those and the VS-5RS's and get in on the group buy.

The G8X M3 and M4 on the other hand get deep discounts on both their 19” square, staggered, and the staggered diameter 19” front and 20” rear fitments for an OE feel with more aggressive tire widths in the VS-5RS design. The versatile 19x9.5 ET25 SM-10RS and VS-5RS can also be used as a winter fitment on this chassis opening up more options for G8X owners in terms of design.

THE DESIGNS

SM-10RS

Introducing the Forged SM-10RS. An ultralight version of our already popular SM-10 design. We’re a function-over-form brand, so we took our time and engineered this wheel to be our best. The original SM-10 has been re-engineered with thinner spokes and extra-deep side-milling for maximum weight reduction. The SM-10RS is now our lightest wheel in some fitments and meaningfully stiffer than our popular VS-5RS.




VS-5RS

The VS-5RS was built to be extremely light while still offering a meaningful strength increase over our flow formed wheels. For those looking to shed as much weight as possible to improve lap times.

Great question, I'm working on getting the application list linked updated, but the part number you'll need is listed as 887-147

[XC3LLR8]

Tom - when I was going back and forth between the SM-10RS and the VS-5RS on GangUp, I noticed the SM-10RS in 19x9.5 ET25 was not an option in Brushed Clear, but it appears on the Apex website.

Is this correct, or just a glitch?

[apez]

New site looks great - especially the gallery, and the group buy is super tempting.

VS-5RS in 19x9 seems to be the suggestion for non-ZTK cars. I have a hard time judging from photos, but does it look okay on non-lowered cars? Is the fitment more aggressive then OEM, or would I still want spacers?

Looks are subjective, but I think the VS-5RS looks amazing on OEM suspension.

Do you know the wheel width of your current front and back, and offset of each? If so, you can enter the front as wheel 1 and the Apex specs as wheel 2 to see the difference, and then do the same with your rear as wheel 1. This will show what the Apex looks like overlayed on your current wheels, and help you decide if you want spacers for more offset.

Thank you. The new site has been something we've been working on for a long time and we're excited about it for a ton of reasons. I see some missing chassis under G42 so I'll get those added to the gallery, but here are all the G42 shots I have: https://www.flickr.com/photos/apexra...77720298585188

The format is less ideal than the new gallery, but the details for each car are on the image descriptions. Most of our G42 shoots with the Anthracite VS-5RS wheels are on cars with OE suspension.

Interesting. Can you link a URL where you're seeing the 19x9.5 ET25 available in brushed clear? I can't find one at the moment but between 2 sites and the group buy + all my spreadsheets, I may be missing a URL.

The 19x9.5 ET25 is mainly a Supra wheel though I hope to sell more of them to BMWs in both designs. Based on what I can see, GangUp is correct in that we'll only be bringing out the SM-10RS 19x9.5 ET25 in Anthracite, Satin Bronze, Satin Black, and Motorsport Gold initially.

Under the SM-10RS page on Apex there is a Sizes & Prices chart that includes 19x9.5, but none of the sizes show available colors. However, on the same page I see this, which is what made me believe the SM-10RS was available in Brushed Clear...

Gotcha, that makes more sense. For clarification: The SM-10RS is available in Brushed Clear in some fitments, but not in the 19x9.5 ET25 5x112 Supra/BMW fitment you're specifically looking at.

Don’t let early pledgers beat you to your preferred fitment or finish allocation on these deals. Pledge today and share the deal to help ensure we hit the max discount.

18” G2X 3 / 4 series and G42 Buyers: Your wheels are on the way! We’ve added 18” fitments to the 18” Group Buy to give you the option to run smaller, lighter and cheaper wheels and tires. 18x9 ET25 and 18x10 ET38 are a great option designed specifically around your brakes and are not available in our VS-5RS design.

Every Sprint Line Forged Design is on sale and included in this Group Buy.

So I wanna buy some VS-5RS wheels soon but I need to know exactly what to buy 😅

I’m looking to do:
245mm front on 19”
275mm rear on 19”

So which ones do I buy?😅Also I would love to get them in Motorsport Gold. I know they only come in bronze right now but I would 100% buy if they came in gold.

Thanks!!!

Not sure why we didn't see the notification for this thread bump, but hopefully you're sorted out on another channel or via dm on GangUp. Gold was added to the wheels available for this chassis on GangUp. Tire details we've gone over on this thread a few times. The main points and recommendations are here: https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hey guys. I've been trying to refrain from doing this, but my excitement is getting the best of me.

I pledged on that group buy for a set of VS5-RSs(19x9 +25/19x10 +38) in satin black.

You guys posted an update video saying some sets would be shipping much sooner than you'd anticipated.

Am I in that sooner group? I have a racing event on 4/1 and I'd really like to be on the new wheels. Thanks!

I do actually have a technical question as well. Would it be okay to reuse the 245s I have on the front and order a new set of 275s for the rear, or would it be better to just order 4 new tires and start fresh?

I used the messaging feature on GangUp and APEX was able to send me a target date that is 5 weeks earlier than what GangUp indicates, mine is 4/28. Also, when they capture your deposit, an email is sent and that email contained the 4/28 date as well.

I do actually have a technical question as well. Would it be okay to reuse the 245s I have on the front and order a new set of 275s for the rear, or would it be better to just order 4 new tires and start fresh?

Would need more information on what the tire size is, is it the 245/35 that came with the ZTK? What size 275?

If it's 275/35 and 245/35, it's going to be bad for the xDrive system, as there's more than a 1% difference in circumference.


You can enter tire data here to figure out what will work. I went with a 19x9.5 square setup for a couple reasons.

1) A square setup can be rotated to balance tire wear
2) Even though a small difference in circumference is allowed, 0% difference is ideal. I've read a few threads where owners (of other BMW models) claiming to run within the 1% tolerance had xDrive failure after 50k miles.

I prefer to run 265/35, as there are other members who have already received their wheels, I will wait to see their fitments and if the clearances aren't OK, I'll run 255/35.

Thanks for the response.

I didn't want to get the 19x9.5 +25 because I just feel it looks a bit to aggressive up front. The only other option for a square set up is 19x9 +25, which then I'm losing a half inch or rear width (I have ZTK). So square is out for me.

I believe the fronts on the ZTK are 245/40 and the rears ate 255/35. With a 245/40 up front Apex calls for a 275/35 out back which is a 0.6% difference in overall diameter. That's even better than the difference between factory diameters with ZTK. I just don't know how it would work with the tires on the front of the car now.

To make matters even more complicated, the front passenger side has about 9,500 miles on it while the front driver side has about 1,500 miles. Damn NY pot holes.

I believe the fronts on the ZTK are 245/40 and the rears are 255/35. With a 245/40 up front

I have ZTK and the set up mine came with was 245/35 fr and 255/35 rear, 245/40 fr 255/35 rear is a 2.6% difference.

Both cars featured running APEX 19x9.5 had the Falken RT 660 one of the widest 265/35 available, most wouldn't poke that much and the 255/35 even less so.

Falken RT 660 - - section width: 10.9" tread width 9.8"
Michelin PS4S - section width: 10.7" tread width 9.6"

Others will post pics with less aggressive 265/35 fittings and you may find that to be fine, the 255/35 is definitely not going to have too much poke.

265/35 will give you a slightly better resistance to potholes.

Damn you're right. This whole time I've had wrong tire sizes in my head.

Looks like this solves that question. 245/40 fronts and 275/35 rears is what I'll likely end up with.

I don't want to go down to a 235 in the front when I'm already running a 245 on a wheel that's half an inch narrower than the VS5-RS is going to be.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there are any photos of this tire set up. Looks like I'll have to be the Guinea pig.
