Official APEX Wheels Showroom Gallery Thread

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9d2ceec0_o.jpg

The purpose of this thread is to compile on-car photography and videography of APEX flow formed and forged wheels for the 1st and 2nd gen 86/BRZ chassis while providing the community with detailed information surrounding wheel and tire fitment, alignment settings, brake and suspension clearances, and more. Please feel free to ask questions along the way, we have experts ready to provide technical support.

Also, if you post photos, we know other enthusiasts would greatly appreciate if you included the following:

APEX wheel model, finish, size & offset
Tire model and specifications
Suspension modifications if applicable
Any required alignment settings such as added negative camber
Any other required modification (fender rolling, etc.)

We'll kick things off by introducing the three wheel designs we specifically engineered for the 86/BRZ chassis, which are offered in a variety of fitments. Learn more about our forged and flow formed wheels by watching the videos and clicking the links 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.
