Thank you for your interest. We have a great partner in the UK,
Tegiwa Imports, that can assist you with APEX wheels. We also ship directly to the UK as well.
Each vehicle we cater to requires different wheel widths and offsets, load rating strength requirements, and has different OEM and aftermarket brake specifications that we must take into account during wheel development. To ensure each wheel fitment is fully optimized for the targeted chassis, our team engineers each from the ground up resulting in many different spoke face profiles.
Profile 1 is how we label our wheels with the shallowest spoke concavity, while profile 4 is currently our deepest spoke concavity. Although many enthusiasts would like us to make everything with a profile 4 deep concave face, the wheel specs (widths / offsets) and positioning of brake calipers on some vehicles do not allow for that.
The 86/BRZ wheel fitments range from a profile 2 face to a profile 3 face depending on the width and offset you choose. Both have a good amount of concavity to them while still offering massive brake clearance, and a lot of that has to do with our custom motorsport blanks covered in the post/video above.
