First print ad for APEX

By eddyP_e30M3 | Published May 3, 2012

We were excited to receive this months issue of Roundel Magazine as it contains our very first full page print advertisement for APEX wheels.  This issue features the Achilles Motorsport E36 M3 and a local customer’s car.

The Achilles team has been using our wheels since the 25 Hours of Thunderhill. This former PTG widebody E36 is running our 18×10″ ET25 wheels with 275/35/18 Hoosiers in the Hyper Black finish.

The White E90 M3 is a local car that’s used for daily driving and track events.  This car has AST 4200′s and a 380mm Stoptech BBK.  On track it runs an 18×10″ ET25 square combo with 275/35/18′s just like the race car above. But in this photo it was fitted with the more common street setup of 18×9.5″ ET22 fronts with 265/35/18′s and 18×10.5″ ET27 rear with 285/35/18 Nitto NT-05 tires.

Keep an eye out for next month’s ad as the feature car is changing

APEX at the Track – Thunderhill, 04/14/12

By jbass524 | Published April 17, 2012

APEX was at the NASA Race Weekend at Thunderhill in Willows, CA on April 14th and 15th. In addition to the Apex/Edge team there were other BMWs running APEX ARC-8s. Some in HPDE and some racing in TT and the sprint races.

We tried to get pictures of them all but we were so busy preparing or driving our cars some of them got away without getting captured in our camera. I counted 4 cars in HPDE 4 with ARC-8s including mine. Funny, we noticed that we were running the narrowest setup in the group and that was a little upsetting ;) .
