    Group Buy Details:

    Free Shipping*
    Free Shipping is available to members in the 48 mainland states
    Alaska, Hawaii, and International members will receive a $75 credit off the actual cost of shipping
    non-mainland/international members: please contact us prior to ordering for a shipping quote
    We'll either send you an invoice, or a code to adjust your order

    When do these ship?:

    CURRENT ETA: Mid November (18th-23)
    This is a Pre-order Group Buy. Wheels do not ship the day after making payment
    These wheels are currently in production and will be finished mid October
    Wheels will arrive at our facility mid November, and will ship out within 3 business days of arrival
    All orders will ship out on the same day after we've processed/packaged them
    Customs/Port delays can add an extra 1-2 weeks delay, but its rare
    We cannot guarantee an exact ETA date. Our estimates have historically been within +/- one week
    We will keep everyone up to date of even minor changes if they occur via this thread

    Payment and Sign Up:
    This Group Buy is now in the payment phase
    There is no need to add your name to the list. That was just a "feeler"
    Simply proceed to the checkout page and place your Group Buy order via this LINK
    If you are in Alaska, Hawaii, or an international order, please contact us for details.
    The last day to sign up is October 31st. NO LATE ENTRIES


    Discount Tiers
    The price you pay at sign up is based on how many members are currently signed up
    At the close of the Group Buy, everyone's order/payment will be adjusted to the final discount tier reached
    At the end, everyone pays the same price
    There is zero advantage in signing up at the last minute
    Signing up near the end will restrict remaining finish availability, and results in fewer members showing interest

    Refunds
    There are NO refunds on Group Buy orders. Group Buys are special order, which is why payment is taken in advance
    Only replacement of defective, or mis-shipped products are available

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Wheel Details:

    Manufacturing process:
    All APEX wheels are flow-formed resulting in a light weight, track and street worthy wheel
    Flow-forming significantly reduces weight in the barrel by rolling the barrel out into it's final shape using large wheels/disks applying high pressure
    This step is the same step that monoblock forged wheels go through to shape their barrels
    By doing this, the flow-formed wheel's barrel has the same density and strength as the barrel of a fully forged wheel
    This significantly reduces rotational mass at the furthest point from the center, which is the most important weight savings area on a wheel.

    Strength:
    These wheels are fully JWL/VIA certified. Strength testing was done by the VIA in Japan

    Misc.
    Comes with carbon-look APEX center caps
    Accepts OEM Roundel adhesive cap 36-13-1-181-081
    Does not come with valve stems
    Installs using your factory lugs or a stud conversion
    Accepts all wheel spacers including 5mm while still remaining hub-centric
    TPMS compatible

    Color choices:

    Finish Availability will be based on the order of paid participants
    ■Hyper Black
    ■Satin Black
    ■Anthracite

      We could not start the Group Buy earlier as production was delayed. The factory was unsure when production could officially begin/end until now. It's about 1 month behind what was originally planed. The wheels will be here at the end of October, so that may still have been an issue for you, I don't know.

      I apologize for having to wait, but for the group as a whole, it was better to announce this as late as possible to avoid unexpected production delays post payment.

          I hate to be the NooB here but what is the price of these before the discount. I looked over the post 3 times to see and didnt catch it. Im thinking i will be in for it the beginning of the year when money isnt as tight.
          Sometimes better...Isnt really better.

            Do these clear the Massive Race Kit? Looks like they do - just wanted to double check. Thanks!

                        The original thread is updated with the retail price of $249. This was a template from another Group Buy, and that section was accidentally deleted. I'll be continuously modifying the first post as questions are clarified.

                        Visseriaan, At this time we are just taking names and not payment. Simply add your username to our list along with the finish you would like.

                        Example:

                        2.
                        3.

                          Not super interested but maybe up for a change. What would be the tire sizing on an E30 to keep it proper?

                            Unfortunately, no.
                            I had to sell my wheels because they didn't fit the Massive Front/Rear race kit I had (outer face of caliper hits spokes).

                              I like the look of 235/40/17 tires:
