► APEX Wheels | Survey For New Wheel Designs, Fitments, & Finishes

APEX Wheels | Universal JDM / KDM Wheel Survey


Interested in lightweight wheels for your JDM/KDM machine? Let us know!

Hello everyone! Here at Apex, we are constantly working on new wheel options to best serve all of the various enthusiast communities out there. Specifically we’ve got some things in the works for our JDM/KDM fans and we would love to hear some feedback from you directly!

The purpose of this survey is to hear directly from you about what your ideal wheel looks like. We want to know which wheel design style is more appealing to you such as a 5 spoke versus a 6 spoke. Prioritize wheel concavity or big brake clearance? Forged or Flow Formed?

You get the picture.

As a motorsport oriented wheel company our goal first and foremost is to provide enthusiasts with functional solutions that improve performance and the driving experience. To ensure we deliver on that, our survey will also ask questions about how you enjoy your car, and what modifications you have or plan to have in the near future.

We truly appreciate your feedback!

I'm probably not in your target customer base, but I'll through in my 2 cents:

For finishes, I'm a fan of silver, bronze, or anthracite/gray. Black doesn't do anything for me. For a short time I owned a set of FL-5's for a BMW in your Race Silver. Loved the color and liked it much better than a clear coating over the brushed aluminum.

As for style for this platform I waffle between something like a chunky 5-spoke wheel, and something a little more traditional like your EC-7.

Again, probably not what you're after, but if you made the EC-7 in an 18x8 and a silver finish for this platform I'd probably be well on my way to having a new set of daily wheels for my car.

I filled out the survey, but thought I'd post here as well! Basically, what I'd like to see is your existing SM10 flow-formed wheel in fitments for the BRZ/86. 17x9, 18x8.5 or 18x9, with ET42 - 35 offsets, in Race Silver or Satin Bronze.

EDIT: Almost forgot - with clearance for the factory Brembo brakes
