After seeing the feedback from this forum and from direct emails/phone conversations with potential customers, I have pushed for and gotten this rear-wheel fitment approved in our VS-5RS design. We are working on finalizing a few engineering details for its production and it won't be available during the upcoming 19" Group Buy, but we will likely be producing it in the future.

Correction: these wheels will be included in the 19" Launch Group Buy, but will ship at a slightly later date than the other fitments. -T

The 19s that are launching shortly have been in the works for quite a while. We aren't able to rush this single wheel through engineering and production but are working to make it available for purchase ASAP.

That's great news! Thank you for the update. Understandable that it'll take some additional time to figure out the details with getting this spec to market.

Thanks, finally nice looking light weight wheels in stock size. They'll be perfect for the Cup2 Connect 240 in M2CS star spec.

The first round of Sprint Line customer-submitted photos are rolling in and we're loving it! Check out @bcaing_’s F82 M4 on a set of staggered VS-5RS wheels in our Anthracite finish.

Fitment Specs:
Front: 18x10” ET25 w/ 275/35-18 and a 5mm spacer
Rear: 18x11” ET44 w/ 295/35-18 and a 15mm spacer
Tires: Continental Extreme Contact Sport

If you’d like to send us photos of your Sprint™ Line wheels, feel free to email them to Experts@apexraceparts.com.
We are still looking for more photoshoot volunteers for various BMW chassis. If you’d like to participate in a photoshoot or test fitment, submit an application on our new volunteer form.

We have another behind-the-scenes look at an APEX photoshoot for those of you curious about the process. This video documented an amazing build and photoshoot we did featuring the Magic Developed E46 Endurance race car on our Sprint Line VS-5RS wheels:

Also interested in Anthracite 19" Group buy!

Wow they look so good!

Noted! They are in the works.

Excellent. Now I just need to find some track tires in the 255(f)-275(r) combination.....

[///MPhatic]

Very interested to see these wheels in the 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 size on an M2, and what face profile they will have with +28 & +43.

We'll have photography soon, but the tables in the OP list the face profiles of the wheels already. The front 19x9.5 ET28 wheels will be face profile 2 and the rear 19x10.5 ET45s will be profile 3.

I've seen the initial results of our 19" photoshoots and they look great. I can't wait to share them once the Group Buys are live!

This is good news. Since the front offset is lower than the rear I've seen the profiles be the same. It's good to hear that your rear should be a decent amount more concave than the front.

Our customer Grayson (@deity.46) sent in these shots of his new set of VS-5RS wheels on his F80. While staggered fitments are a common option for these cars, this 18x10 ET25 square setup looks undeniably fantastic on a set of Anthracite VS-5RS wheels.

Wheels: VS-5RS
Front & Rear: 18x10 ET25

Tires: Yokohama Advan APEX
Front & Rear: 275/40-18

That is correct, the arrival of the 19's has been delayed. We've updated the chart on our webpage to list June ETAs to best reflect a realistic timeline for delivering the 19" wheels.

We do plan to launch the Group Buy later this month for these 19s that will allow you to configure orders and pledge for these sets. If everything goes perfectly with ocean shipping and container scheduling we may be able to beat the June estimated ships by date, but the June target date is more realistic given the issues we've been having. We're hoping to overdeliver on this shipping date and are working to get the wheels produced and shipped over ASAP, but we are coordinating more BMW fitments than the prior 18" deal alongside Corvette, Porsche, Camaro, and Mustang wheels which has proven to be challenging logistically.

These links will land you on our APEX webpages with the updated ETAs:

We’ve loved seeing all of our M car customers on these VS-5RS wheels, but it's about time we showed some non-M chassis some love. Our Customer Liza (@htemup_b58) sent in these shots of her 440i F36 Gran coupe on an aggressive staggered set of our 18” VS-5RS wheels:

Wheels: Brushed Clear VS-5RS
Front: 18x9 ET30
Rear: 18x9.5 ET35

Tires:
Front: 255/40-18 Michelin PSS
Rear: 275/35-18 Hankook Z214 C5

This staggered setup is a great fit for her big turbo build and the wheels really look stunning on the 4 series platform. These photos are also an excellent example of the VS-5RS in our Profile 2 design. Both front and rear wheels are profile 2 and look great despite their reduction in concavity.

Our 19” photoshoots are still underway to support the upcoming Group Buy. We can’t share the photos yet, but these wheels look great on the BMWs and other makes we’ve seen them on thus far and we’re excited to share them with you shortly. If you’re in the bay area and are interested in volunteering for an APEX photoshoot, our online form is still live!

Currently we plan on getting the 19” Group Buy live later this month with the first release of our EC-7RS design in the BMW market alongside the VS-5RS wheels. Stay tuned!

Would I be able to get some guidance on fitment on my car? Where would I contact for this?

Wow, how chic that looks! The car looks even more expensive! Thanks, lots of helpful information here. Starting this year, I have a new car and decided to sell my old mustang and buy a BMW. I have been browsing various forums looking for new wheels for my steed. I used to order wheels from https://myvehicletires.com/, but I want expensive parts and reliable tires with a new car, and I'm interested in people's opinions. Is it possible to order wheels with a unique design and see how they will look beforehand? That would be pretty darn cool! If it's possible, how can I contact you?
