Anyone going for Apex Wheels VS-5RS?

[VictorH]

Wondering if anyone is considering the Apex wheels VS-5RS group buy. I want to have a separate set of track wheels and these look pretty good and sturdy.
The width options are 10, 11 and 11.5". I'd be inclined to go the +0.5" wider option, (11" wide front and 11.5" rear) but I'm wondering if this is a "no particular advantage" situation. I don't think you can really run much wider tires up front or in the rear. Apex says the + 0.5" option requires a "track alignment" but don't specify what that is. My current track alignment is -2.5 front and -1.7 rear, not sure if that's enough or not. There doesn't appear to be all that much room in back for a much wider wheel and/or tire combo when I look at the rear on a lift.

Im interested. Was wondering some of the same. I havent seen any info on a group buy for 19's yet?

The 19s are what I'm talking about. If you scroll down on the link, select Mustang, you will see the 19s group buy is open.

I was checking about those wheels but decided not to, because it means changing the tires to a different size. This is the link to their fitness guide: https://support.apexraceparts.com/h...5483093-S550-Mustang-Wheel-Tire-Fitment-Guide. I found that the only way to keep the OEM Mach 1 tire size (255x40x19 front and 275x40x19 back ) is to have their 19” x 9” with 34 mm offset in the front and 19” x 10” with 40mm offset in the back. As you can see from the screen shot, those size wheels are not available in the group buy. They were available in the SM-10 group buy but I don’t really like that design.

Yeah, not sure what those wheels do on the standard Mach 1. I have the HP so my wheels are a bit wider.

I'll consider 11f/11.5r if I can get them in silver.

Just purchased a set from them but like the VS-5RS. Can we get 20% off?

I think that's a really good idea. Especially when tires are going to run $400-500 each. I think I might change my order based on this advice. Thank you.

I am contemplating running the 17x10 with a 305/45r17 MT ET Street SS as a rear drag pack. Anyone done this? Spec on the wheel looks like it would fit and match the PP2 wheels well I have on the car currently.

Any further on this? Looking to get a set at some point.
