Ten spoke OEM-ish looking wheels that can handle track use?

[SHOdaddy68]

We run Apex wheels on a BMW endurance racecar. We've bent a few but they deserved it. Overall very happy with the wheels. The exchange program they offer even covers competition use. Although it's not an unlimited exchange. I think they limit you to 2 per wheel.

The Mule runs Apex SM-10 (Anthracite) and SM-10RS (Bronze) in 17x11" (52ET) and uses 25mm spacers on the front wheels to allow the square set-up.

The SM-10 is a flow-formed wheel and the SM-10RS is forged. You can see the difference in the spoke thickness below. The forged version with slicks is super light, too.

I don't have the RS but the regular EC7 looks great on our cars.

damn that's so sexy

Thanks guys. I'd rather not run spacers on the front. I'll double check the 26 mm offset option.

Just a note - the factory GT350R rims are 19x11 ET24 front, 19x11.5 ET56 rear. Non-R OEM rims are 19x10.5 ET30 front, 19x11 ET62 rear. I've been running OEM GT350 rear rims at ET62 with a 35mm spacer on OEM GT350R front hubs with the long studs for years and they work fine, even with 315/30's. It gives you 19x11 rims with ET27 finished offset and the OEM R hubs give you exactly the right stud length to be able to use the factory lug nuts. It's almost like the FP engineers planned it that way...

It's pretty on the outside but not nearly the work of engineering yours is under the skin.

SV501 is obvious choice. search for pics, great looking lightweight wheels, high quality. a bit spendy, but imo worth it.

19x11 50mm square with a 25mm spacer up front fully rotatable

Just circling back to this since I see that Apex has a sale going on. For the SM-10RS it is around 15% off which is okayish I guess. Am I correct in my understanding that if I get the 19X11"ET26 for the front and 19x11"ET52 on the back I can run that on my stock hub and stud non-R GT350? Can I run stock size tires on those wheels? Thanks

Yes. They have a fitment guide someone else linked but you can run a 305/30 in the front vs a 295 if you desire.

I've run 19x11 ET62 OEM rear rims at the front of my GT350 with 35mm spacers ever since I got the car. With the 35mm spacer, the finished front offset is 27mm, one mm closer to the strut than the ET26's you're asking about. I've run various 295/35's, 305/30's and 315/30's (and even 275/40 all season tires) with that 19x11 ET27 rim setup and it's always worked great. Just make sure that the tire manufacturer says the tires are ok on 11" rims.

As to whether the OEM front studs on a non-R will work with those specific 19x11 ET26 rims, again, my experience is that virtually every aluminum rim I've ever had is the same thickness at the bolt holes, so yes, those rims at those offsets are just fine with the factory studs and lug nuts.

Sweet merciful crap....

Did you order rims? I have a set of black apex rims sm10s in a rotatable square set up and the front spacers. I did extended studs up front when I had the car with the GT350R hubs from OPM but those stayed on the car when I sold it.

I also have the original front hubs without the extended studs I can throw in for you if want to get longer studs for the oem hubs. The original hubs probably had 4-6K miles on them.
