I used to be very much on top of the wheels game and there was even a database out there with wheel weights.

I currently have 2 sets of 18x 10 Apex wheels.
I have a friend that has FIVE Sets. I bet that his 5 sets have probably run around the same as this single set of wheels in this thread.
I believe Apex only offers an 18" square set up. Less 19" staggered choices.

Fiske is one and they have a similar style but they are not cheap nor powder coated.

Are your tires mounted in the right direction? Seems every time I see them the groves are running in the opposite direction....

Only outside on R888R. Not directional.

Forged Wheel manufacturers charge a RIDICULOUS amount for wheels. They can, because the equipment is expensive and with billet prices going up, it's hard. But, they still tax a LOT on their name, and I would say that 80% of forged wheels are made by only a handful of companies actually doing the forging. It's whitelabeling. In this case, CCW does make their own wheels. Titan does forged wheels for 1700 a set

Enkei, although more popular in the JDM crowd, are cheap and light. Can get a set for around 1200-1500 new and in BMW fitments. RPF1's in 19's weigh as much as APEX in 18's. Not saying one is better or worse, but just another option. Both are track abused with a long history, and I would rather replace a $300 wheel 4 times than 1 wheel for ~$1200 from track abuse. Pretty wheels for the daily, track wheels for abuse
