Default New Wheels

I finally broke down and replaced the stock wheels on my 2019 A06 after repairing the bent wheels twice. One was cracked this time so it is no-good.
I had been checking out the Apex forged wheels for several months but just couldn't pul the trigger until they had their Black Friday Sale. Saved over $600 and free shipping. They had the wheels I wanted in stock (VS-5RS). I ordered them on Monday morning and they arrived Wednesday. Of course I live within 75 miles of their warehouse so I'm sure that helped.
Anyway, I am very pleased with how they look. Their replacement warranty if they bend or crack also came into the decision. Their customer service was first rate when I was asking questions.
I've attached some pics

Buying more GM OEM wheels or repairing them is throwing good money after bad.

Nice look! Congrats on your early Christmas present to self.

I have also been considering puting forged wheels on my Z, but we are replacing the kitchen at the moment, and that's kind of got my capital tied up. But it's in the future!
