Forged Enduro Line The Apex Enduro line consists of the strongest wheels we’ve ever made. These wheels feature our highest load rating and our strongest lip, allowing them to withstand abuse, lap after lap. ➡︎ 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum ➡︎ Heavy-duty Enduro Spec inner lip ➡︎ Stiffer side-milled spokes ➡︎ Stronger 2100 lb. load rating ➡︎ Capless hub design to reduce weight ➡︎ 50% replacement program ➡︎ Independently tested and certified VS-5RE The VS-5RE is the forged Enduro version of our popular VS-5 design. These wheels bring serious strength and durability to the split 5 spoke design that BMW enthusiasts love and gives endurance racers and hardcore HDPE participants a wheel that focuses on longevity and consistency. To view all of the VS-5RE fitments available for your BMW and order your set, Head over to our website via the link below or by clicking any of the images of these wheels. Learn More SM-10RE The SM-10RE brings higher load ratings and measurable increases in strength and stiffness to our popular 10-spoke design. Initially available in fitments focused on modern M cars that are often tracked, these are perfect for wheel-to-wheel racing and focused HPDE sessions. To view all of the SM-10RE fitments available for your BMW and order your set, Head over to our website via the link below or by clicking any of the images of these wheels. Learn More Our Strongest Wheels: Enduro Line Features Most motorsport wheel designs prioritize reducing weight over increasing strength, but some applications require extra strength. High grip tires and lots of downforce put extra strain on wheels. Pair that with a faster driver and regular load ratings are not enough. Enduro line wheels are about 30% stronger than their RS counterparts. Stiffer Spokes Wheel stiffness matters but it gets overlooked and undiscussed. The redesigned spokes of the SM-10RE are about 20-25% stiffer than the Sprint Line version. Stiffer spokes help reduce camber loss, which reduces outer edge tire wear and improves feel and responsiveness. Toughest Inner Lip Introducing the Enduro Spec inner lip - our strongest ever. With 50% more reinforcement, these wheels are better protected against the harsh conditions found on (and off) track. Reinforced Front Lip We added extra material in the front lip for more durability so you can keep attacking those berms. You can easily spot the beefed up design of an Enduro lip vs. the lightweight lip on a Sprint Line wheel. True Motorsport Blanks Many companies use 3rd-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. We designed our very own blank profiles from scratch to give us total control over the final product. Side Milled Spokes One of the most prominent features of our Enduro line wheels are the extra wide and deep side-milled spokes. Any excess material that doesn’t add strength is carved out using a precision CNC ball cutter. This allows our endurance wheels to be surprisingly light for their strength. Side-milling is often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, but for true performance without compromise we believe it's essential. Weight Optimized We conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and to remove material where it didn’t improve strength. The result is a significantly stronger wheel with a minimal weight penalty over their RS counterparts. Independently Tested We don't rely solely on computer simulations or unverifiable in-house testing. We believe independent testing is critical to protect consumers in this unregulated industry. Our Enduro Line wheels are independently tested by ITS at their Michigan facility following JWL standards but pushed to much higher loads and much longer durations. Big Brake Clearance From day one, Apex has been on a mission to build wheels that clear big brakes. These Enduro Line wheels are the product of everything we’ve developed over the past 15+ years. We utilize 3D scans to produce vehicle-specific spoke profiles, and our wheels feature an innovative high-clearance barrel design. Deeper Concavity Our new forgings were redesigned to create extra deep, concave spoke profiles. Their new shape allows us to make any profile, from flat to deep and everything in between, each optimized for a specific application using 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket brake kits. Paintless Knurled Beads Whether it’s a day at the track or months of street driving, repeated hard braking and acceleration can make a tire slip along the bead seat and go out of balance, causing vibration. Knurled beads help, but are less effective when painted over. Our forged line features unpainted knurled beads that stay sharp and maximize grip. Paintless Barrel To be as light as possible, and to reduce rotational inertia, we removed paint from the outer barrel. It’s only a fraction of a pound but it’s in an area that has the biggest impact on acceleration and deceleration, so it packs a bigger punch vs. the same weight savings near the center of the wheel. These small tweaks add up. Capless Hub Design We know most track day organizations ask for center caps to be removed. To further reduce weight that doesn’t directly correlate to strength, we incorporated a capless hub design on all Enduro Line wheels in our pursuit of Real Performance. Built for Impact Sockets Track wheels need track tools. Don’t settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All Apex wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast. Outer Lip Pocketing A lot of areas get extra thick when the load rating is raised to 2100 lb. By CNC machining ‘pockets’ between each spoke, our Engineers were able to further reduce weight from an area that has a high impact on rotational inertia. Laser-Engraved Specs As track enthusiasts ourselves, we know how frustrating it is to locate and decipher wheel specs that have been hastily marked on a wheel or become unreadable over time. Our Enduro wheels have laser-engraved specs on the barrel, in plain sight, making them easy to find and read. Your Fastest Lap is Calling! Our forged Sprint™ line 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. ➡︎ 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum ➡︎ Stronger Sprint™ spec inner lip ➡︎ Side-milled spokes for reduced weight ➡︎ Massive brake clearance ➡︎ Unmatched replacement program ➡︎ Lifetime structural warranty ➡︎ Independently tested and certified Order Now VS5-RS / EC-7RS / SM-10RS Finishes 10K Tons Of Pressure Our new forgings weigh as much as 120 pounds before machining. To form such a thick blank we require special equipment capable of 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminum by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure. True Motorsport Blanks Many companies use 3rd-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. We designed our very own blank profiles from scratch which gives us total control over the final product, resulting in exceptionally deep spokes and stronger designs. Learn more about our true motorsport blanks. One of the most significant upgrades to our Sprint wheels is the addition of wider and deeper side-milled spokes. Any excess material that doesn’t add strength is carved out using a precision CNC ball cutter. Side-milling is often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, but for true performance without compromise we believe it's essential.A Stronger Lightweight Wheel Our forged Sprint™ wheels are lightweight without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels. First, we carved out as much material as possible, then we purposefully added one pound back to reinforce critical areas, creating a stronger inner lip and a higher load rating. What’s the point of a lightweight wheel if it’s fragile? Weight Optimized We conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and to remove material where it didn’t improve strength. The result is a wheel that is exceptionally light without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels. Independently Tested We don't rely solely on computer simulations or unverifiable in-house testing. We believe independent testing is critical to protect consumers in this unregulated industry. We chose STL, an independent lab in Ohio, to test our Sprint™ wheels far above JWL standards, including increases in testing duration, impact drop height, and total load. Learn more about our rigorous independent testing. Tough Inner Lip Introducing the Sprint™ spec inner lip, with a unique channel profile that makes it even stronger than our previous designs. So even though our Sprint™ wheels are pounds lighter than comparable flow formed wheels, the inner lip is 32% stronger. Learn more about our Sprint™ spec inner lip.

Laser-Engraved Specs As track enthusiasts ourselves, we know how frustrating it is to try to locate and decipher wheel specs that have been hastily hammered into the rim or become unreadable over time. With our new Sprint™ wheels, we chose to invest a little extra and laser-engrave the specs on the barrel, in plain sight, making them easy to find and read. (You’re welcome.) Additional Features Hub Centric - All APEX BMW wheels with a 5x120mm bolt pattern are purpose built featuring a 72.56mm center bore. No centering rings required. Center Caps - We don't charge extra for caps and we design most of our BMW wheels to be interchangeable with the OE roundel cap for enthusiasts seeking a clean factory look. All wheels come with our gloss Black APEX caps included. We also offer optional gloss red or gloss blue APEX caps. Hardware - APEX wheels can be used with all OEM mounting hardware, proper aftermarket hardware and wheel spacers. Wheel locks and stud conversion kits also work perfectly. TPMS - All APEX wheels accept OEM and aftermarket Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors and standard fit valve stems.

Those VS-5RS in Anthracite will look absolutely bomb on a Hockenheim Silver car. Do post up some photos when you guys get the chance to fit the 19s on a car.
Just to confirm these clear the 2NH BBK? Can't wait for the 19 inch version to be ready in March 2022, I'll likely grab a set!

I've noticed that the 18" versions are available in 9" and 10" wheel widths. Will you consider the same for the 19" version with near to stock offsets?

This is a great aggressive square track fitment for an M2, but it does require a decent amount of camber in the front and rear (or rear fender rolling/pulling) to prevent rubbing. Quote:

I'd have a set of the VS-5RS wheels if it weren't for that outer lip. I know you guys did it for strength, just like BMW did with the 763M motorsport wheel, but with beauty being more important to me than strength, I just can't do it.
Maybe one day you guys will make a wheel for pure beauty instead of for heavy-duty race applications. And that might be an interesting figure; what percentage of your customers buy your wheels for the street vs the track? |
