Nice, I'm excited to see them on the cars when available!

Any of the 19x10 ET40 wheels aren't likely to arrive early as their production was put into action later as a last-minute request to address community demand for these wheels. We'll keep you posted via either GangUp or direct email updates though!

Anyone have pics of 18 x 9.5 et28 and 18 x 10.5 et40 mounted?

[chip_dip19]

Decided to do a test fit and it fits perfect. A bit of wheel gap since the new tire dimensions are about 0.5-0.75" shorter.

Wheel/tire/alignment specs are:

19x9.5 +22 with 265/30/19 firehawk indy 500
19x10.5 +45 with 285/30/19 firehawk indy 500

-2 camber front and rear

My 19x10 ET 40 wheels in Anthracite arrived 2 days ago, so they are already in the wild. I'm impressed by the finish detail.

I can tell you that the BBS CI-R wheels that I bought for a previous car had over spray and under spray. I even had to send 2 wheels back they were so bad.

does anyone have vs5rs in anthracite for HS m2 comp?

That's spot on fitment! Looks great!

Kinda wish I had jumped on the group buy for the brushed silver.

Yeppers. Just waiting on install. I had to order damn wheel lock keys today. My dealer is the only one to service the car. Grrrr. They were like, well here is a number to the place we order them from. I should have these on mid next week and will take some pictures after a bath.

Can we see some pics of yours?

I think you said you’d also gone for the 19x9
ET30’s for upfront?

Looks awesome - well done!

They do offer 19x10 ET40 - it’s on their site

[blau3er]

Also, has anyone got any insight into how the Profile 2 and Profile 3 compare to 437m concavity?

I asked Apex, but they didn’t know.

Sure thing, I have done the ceramic coating but they're not mounted yet. I should get around to it Monday or Tuesday.

How much for ceramic coating on Earth?

Currently going to coat in like a wheel coating that i can apply myself.

[infinitekidM2C]

Here's some pics to make you more anxious. I was impressed at how well they are packaged and presented. I have bought advans at a higher price and these are much better packed. Love these rims, all the things you'd expect from a company like apex, knurled beads, carved out some material for weight, nice little touches. I weighed the fronts at around 19lbs.

I did the ceramic coating myself. It's not that difficult, especially with brand new wheels. You just need to wipe them with prep spray first. I bought the Adams Graphene kit for $100. It's kind of expensive but it comes with everything you'd need including prep and maintenance spray. The application was easy, you do have to be mindful that you don't miss any spots.

I think I could do about 10 sets of wheels with one little bottle.
