Appreciate your interest. We have an
M2 flickr album and an
M2 showroom gallery thread here on bimmerpost, however most existing EC-7 configurations will be in 18".

These EC-7's are flow formed just like the existing line of 18" and 19" BMW wheels.
Some of you may have seen our teaser video indicating that we are releasing forged wheels this year, however, it will take some time before we are able to release all the different BMW fitment iterations we have planned.
Over the last 10+ years, our flow formed line has proven to be a great solution for performance driving enthusiasts, and we believe they present tremendous value. Once our forged program is fully up and running, enthusiasts will have the ability to choose between flow formed or forged depending on their needs, preferences and budget.

Great to have you onboard! All wheel and tire packages include free mounting and road force balancing

Nice job by Apex on this release.

Great additional info, thank you guys for chiming in. We hope that Michelin continues to expand the PS4S line, but the good news is that there are already some solid options. The real void is in the extreme summer and semi-slick / slick categories.

We are working hard to add the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's to our tire offering. We'll keep everyone posted on that front.

Would love to see some fitted Anthracite pics once available. Subb'ing to this thread |
Thank you. We look forward to getting wheels into everyone hands. As noted above, a vast majority of M2's equipped with APEX wheels in the wild are running 18's (and rightfully so). Can't wait for the community to share photos of the 19's.
Here is a beautiful shot of 18" EC-7's in Anthracite

I'd expect any wheel to take damage in that scenario. I didn't even feel that bad about it since I was replacing a non-forged wheel that wasn't ridiculously expensive.
I'd definitely recommend Apex wheels. If they can handle years of wheel to wheel racing and frequent mounting of race rubber, they will be fine for a street/track car.

Always great to hear from enthusiasts like yourself that have put our wheels through the ringer as intended. Thank you for the kind words, we appreciate your support.
