Default Apex Wheels 5 Spoke Design Survey - Input Needed

We’re back to gather more information on a potential new wheel. The 5 spoke design we showcased in earlier surveys proved popular enough to be considered for further development. We’ve refined a few features and want to get more feedback from the community about this wheel specifically around finishes, fitments and chassis. In addition to the bare wheel renders included in the survey, we’ve also rendered the design on the C6 Z06 shown here in 18” front and rear. The wheels showcased are profile 2 and representative of what you’d find on the widebody models in real life. For narrowbody models, expect a more flat profile 1 face.


If you’re interested in providing feedback about this design, please take a moment to complete THIS SURVEY

Yes, a proper Tarmac 5-spoke! I had Team Dynamics Pro Race 3s on my last racecar and they kicked *** in a metal flake Gunmetal!

We are hoping for early 2026! We have 3 designs we are launching, actually. Not all initially for the Corvette platform, but that's what we will want to hear, feedback on other designs and bringing them to other markets, be on the lookout in the new year!

I'd rather it bend than shear.


Apex, would these be a cast wheel or a forged wheel? I would hazard a pressure cast wheel due to the geometry?

Just purchased a set of ML10RT for my base model C6, but would absolutely purchase a set of these. Way late to the party, but did complete the survey.

These are going to be fully forged wheels; they will be part of our touring line like our ML-10RT, a wheel line where performance meets style!

I had BBS REs on my old GDA STI and while they looked awesome cleaning was a huge pain. When I got my Team Dynamics I made sure to go 5-spoke to make cleaning th track dust easier.

That's a sharp looking design. Took the survey, see where it goes (hopefully into production).

Is this wheel still being released at some point in 2026? I was hoping to see this wheel gets released today

We are hoping to release the wheel still. It's currently still going through testing, which is why we haven't released it yet!

In the market for track wheels, these are awesome! How close are you to release? Taking pre orders?

The wheels are still in the process of testing, and for now, we are unsure when we can release them. We'll have pre-orders available once we can get them on the website after passing testing.
