Apex Flow Forged wheels

[Trace]

I've read a lot of good about the Apex (FF) flow formed or flow forged wheels. Seem to be a favorite for track day.

I also read that one or two companies are making most of the FF wheels on the market today.

So what makes the Apex wheel better than a Velgen, Forgestar, American Racing, etc? Or is it?

Thanks

Color and livery look awesome. I don’t think I have ever seen the GT350 in orange.

Looks great! Is this a square setup? What size tires?

This is a 19x11 square setup with the same offset front snd rear utilizing a 25mm spacer. Tires this year are the Yokohama A052 ins 295/35-19 since that's the widest they make.

Very grippy, but the soft sidewall is something you have to get acccustomed to for sure. In autocross we never deal with cold temps as we're literally checking them between every run which can be as little as 30 seconds in some cases. I run them at 34 hot front and 32 hot rear and that's given me my best results so far. May be able to go a little lower up front for some more grip, but didn't want to sacrifice sidewall stability and turn-in confidence.

Purpose built for specific cars, not just built in generic offsets. Other than that I can't really think of anything special that others can't match like price, light weight, seem durable, etc.

More Furyyyyyyy, with SM-10s, mine.
