The purpose of this thread is to compile on-car photography and videography of Apex flow formed and fully forged wheels on Gen 1 86/BRZ chassis while providing the community with detailed information surrounding wheel and tire fitment, alignment settings, brake and suspension clearances, and more. Whether you enjoy your Twin on the street, or you are a weekend warrior competing for a podium spot, our seasoned experts are here to provide advice to ensure you get the most of your wheel and tire setup.

We encourage enthusiasts here on FT86Club to also share photos of their Apex wheels, and if you do, we're sure the community would greatly appreciate the supplementary information below:

SUBARU BRZ tS TRACK CAR | FEATURING APEX 17” ARC-8 WHEELS

This insanely clean BRZ tS has exchanged caretakers since we photographed it, but it remains one of our favorites to date. As you can see from the laundry list of aftermarket parts below, the original owner, James, was not gun-shy about modifying the car. With that said, it is evident that parts were carefully selected to improve performance on and off the race track, and aesthetic modifications were carried out with an overarching theme in mind.

It is quite easy for passionate enthusiasts to get a bit overzealous with modifications, and that often times leads to a "Frankenstein build" where parts have a hard time working cohesively with each other - both from a performance and visual perspective. When that happens the car looses a bit of its identity along the way.

James really knocked it out of the park with this build, and we look forward to seeing how the new owner will carry the torch. We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we did.
