E F G look new to me
Still can't beat Arc8. Doesn't matter how played out it gets, it always looks good. I just want a set in race silver, but the last I knew only ec7 are in race silver

I really wanted to get a set of Apex SM10s, but was sad that they only offered them in three basic colors and could not be ordered in custom colors. I had a specific color I wanted. While I realize only offering a small number of colors keeps costs down, I would have gladly paid a premium for a custom finish.Originally posted by Tbonem3 View PostE F G look new to me

I have a feeling that double the cost of a standard color still wouldn't be profitable for them...Originally posted by liam821 View Post

Powdercoating is cheap and gets great results. I have done it to several wheels and been very happy. I had sm-10’s and they are very cool wheels. If i hadnt found the wheels i have now, id still be rocking themOriginally posted by liam821 View Post

These are a mix of existing designs and new options we are considering moving forward with. Not all of them will be on our website and several of them have not been produced. We are just using this survey and thread to feel out the community as it helps us track customer preferences across different chassis. 🏁Originally posted by liam821 View PostAPEXraceparts That 6-spoke "E" above looks awesome.

As r4dr said it really comes down to a cost issue. Our production is structured around large volumes of product to keep our prices low. We can request new colors, but not for one-off 4 wheel sets or custom situations. If we add a new color to a wheel lineup, it needs to sell in large quantities, be appropriate for a variety of chassis and takes multiple months for the new production wheels to arrive after checking for QC et c.Originally posted by liam821 View Post

The EC-7R wasn’t in the survey, maybe because its a new model so Apex is already committed. I love the look and may even have a set on order...'05 M3 Convertible 6MT, CB/Cinnamon, CSL Airbox&Flap, PCSTuning, Beisan, Schrick 288/280, SS V1's & 2.5" System, RE Stg 1&SMF, KW V2, CB PS, Apex EC-7R

We are working on these dies! The wider 11"+ wheels require specialized forging dies that we didn't have during our initial production run but they are in the works along with 19" forged options. No specific ETAs yet, but they are in progress for sure.Originally posted by sc_tr0jan_m3 View Posti'm really hoping for more of the forged line up in 18x11

Not having 18x11" forged EC-7R is the only thing holding me back from getting fender work done. I have seen the light with the EC-7R compared to my older EC-7's! Thanks for planning to make 18x11" EC-7R!Originally posted by APEXraceparts View Post

Whatever new designs are launched, apex they should have that anti tire rotation texture where the tire latches on. Even after killing one set of nt01’s mounted on the wheel they moved absolutely nothing. Those things work!
