Pretty certain it's the same roll or pressure 'forging' on the barrel that's used on Apex and dozens of other wheel brands.

I've put over 25 track days on a set of EC-7 on r comps on a e46 m3 prepped track car. I've ran over every curbing on track imaginable and hit many pot holes on the roads. The guy that bought my car also has about 12 track days on the same set of EC7 and it looks brand new. Has yet to bend or crack or break.

While manufacturing processes may be similar, my guess is that maybe the people doing it are less competent, the equipment they use is inferior and maybe their QC tolerance differs.

The forgestar BRZ incident happened at my local track and my friends were there that day. Inexcusable for a wheel to do that driven by a novice driver.

I can attest to APEX quality and durability based on on track experiences.

And their guaranty is amazing.

I thought it was a BRZ. I could be wrong. My friends were there on that day so I'll have to ask again.

Anyways, we here on the west coast have seen bent wheels from all types of manufacturers. Even including BBS. All I'm saying is APEX wheels are widely used by BMW guys and I never hear any issues. My circle of track friends are all e36/e46/e92 guys. They all use APEX. I also have extensive first hand experience.

I'm just really excited that a quality wheel is finally available to us Mustang guys at a reasonable price.

It's just unfortunate when people spout off with only that 1 case as evidence. Do some research on that particular incident, you might be intrigued with what you read.

Also, do research on any wheel manufacturer, they've all had failures. Proper inspections pre and post HPDE or autocross and periodically will prevent most issues.

Forgestars are all over the track, including by a large number of members here with zero problems.

I'm very glad APEX is stepping up their mustang production and offerings too, it'll be nothing but good to have more options.

Thank you everyone for your support. I know that a few of you have already filled out our previous survey hosted on the BMW boards, and we appreciate that. Those submissions in addition to other forms of consistent correspondence from this community played a major factor in our decision to revitalize our Mustang program.

We joined this great forum as site sponsors about 2 weeks ago, and have since launched a thread which calls attention to our new Mustang specific survey. For those of you who have not got a chance to complete this, we would greatly appreciate hearing from you!

Kind of surprised more people are not interested.

I think there are a few of us waiting for an 18x11 option.

Yep. Love my 18x10's, but I don't need another set. Holding out to see what they release in another size. I'm hoping for 18x11 front and 18x12 rear.

Ah okay, that makes sense.

I missed out on the 18x10s last time around. Glad to get some now.
