APEX 18x11” EC-7 Track Wheel Group Buy


Here it is! The Mustang 18x11” EC-7 track wheel is here!
After reviewing hundreds of surveys submissions, it was clear our top priority needed to be the release of an 18x11” Mustang fitment. This new wheel specifically caters to S197 and S550 owners who want a rotatable square fitment, or a wider rear option for a staggered fitment.

Our research and test fitments show a 52mm offset will be most effective. During the feeler phase we’re still open to feedback, and we may modify our final proposed offset +/- a few millimeters if any convincing evidence comes to light. Don’t keep your fitment and product related feedback in the dark by messaging us directly, we’d prefer you post publicly via the forums or using the discussion tab here so we can get a group conversation going.

Thinking about waiting to join until your discount is hit? Don’t do that!
We always recommend getting your pledge in as early as possible. The system in no way rewards watching the deal and joining late. The whole purpose of the pledge system is to allow you to join with confidence and security even within the first minute of the deal accepting payment. You’ll never have to pay more than you’re willing to—even if you’re the first participant. Pledging during the payment phase is risk free!









I want to know more about APEX wheels. Where can I learn more about them?

All APEX wheels are highly regarded and fully verified with official JWL and VIA certifications for every single size and offset. We created these wheels to inspire confidence during track days, race events, and everyday driving. Click here to learn everything about APEX wheels. The quality of information is worth your time!

What’s different about our Group Buy?

Joining Group Buy deals via forums is traditionally a very manual process. Since our deals have grown so large over time, we are working with a new tool to organize these deals in a single, well organized location. This deal is entirely managed on GroupBuyParts.com where you can pay, follow, and even discuss the deal’s status.

How do I participate?

Visit the official Deal Dashboard on GroupBuyParts.com. From there, you can show your interest by joining our feeler list. You’ll receive an email reminder when the deal officially opens. When the deal is live and accepting payments, you can complete checkout and pay for your order from the same page. All product details, member participants, and discussions can be found on that Dashboard.

What if I have some questions?

No problem! Just contact us at [email protected]. Please avoid sending us Private Messages as they do not automatically go into our ticketing system and will experience a delay for responses.

Many enthusiasts interested in this new 18x11” square fitment have asked us for more information about front strut clearance and spacer requirements. Because of the wide variation of suspensions, tires, and alignments, we’re unable to provide detailed fitment advice on each iteration to our early adopter customers at this time. It is absolutely our intention to build an extensive database of fitment information for the various track configurations. We want easy to copy recipes to be available, but we will only have that information ready for future customers who will be buying at full price later in the year.

It may be a while before we cover what you’re looking for, so this deal is best for early adopters who are already comfortable with what it takes to make this fitment work. They’d rather receive free shipping and a deep discount instead of paying more during a more formal release that includes detailed fitment info. We’re assuming that many in the Mustang track crowd already know what they want and the price savings is preferred over guidance if it allows for an earlier product release. Some of you may choose to pay more later when every last kink is worked out.

Fortunately there is nothing new about this fitment. It’s just rare. It’s a proven fitment run by many forum members already and you can find a range of documentation supporting it. Community members up to this point could only get this fitment with custom offset, or expensive forged wheels. Our objective was to make an off-the-shelf, light, and affordable version.

Enthusiasts running the offset Cortex coilovers may have the possibility of a direct fitment up front when using 295 or 305mm compounds, while wider compounds from 305 - 315mm will require up to 12mm or 15mm spacers for proper strut clearance. Enthusiasts using coilovers like MCS, JRZ, Ridetech and so forth can expect to use between 20mm and 25mm spacers for proper strut clearance, again depending on spring perch location and tire size and brand. As mentioned above, we will conduct further testing with various coilovers in effort to provide future customers with specific fitment recopies, but this database will take some time to build up.

Aside from the cortex offset coilovers (since we already know they provide the most inner clearance), what suspensions would you guys like to see us test? In the BMW world, we have our go-to list which does a really good job covering a vast majority of BMW track enthusiasts, and I'd like to confirm my suspicions on which suspension systems are most popular within this portion of the Mustang community.
