I have fallen for these. First APEX wheels with a lip. I think they look great. Hopefully a group buy soon...

Mafia member downshift has a set on order. Search for his build thread and see if he has an idea of when they'll be done. Everything we're seeing right now is a rendering.

Hey guys,
I've waited about a month and production of round 1 is finally done. I will have the wheels in 18x8.5 ET35 (effective 18mm spacer front, 15mm spacer rear) on Thursday. Mounting Falken RT615K 235/40-18 on them for a beefy look and a slight stretch.
Hopefully pics on car Friday.
Also have drift day Saturday and tack day Sunday, so hopefully we'll get some action shots too.

Ya I like how they wrap through the spoke connection to each other instead of terminating at the central core.
Mounting tomorrow morning

yeah - it's gotta be stronger that way, too.
LOVE the way these look - after running Style 68s for so long this year, i love a wheel with a small amount of lip on the E46.
going to mount my ARC-8s and then make a decision on these. :)

So you have two set of wheels? Nice. And agree, re: lip on an E46.

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the BBS RK-style mesh.
I wish Apex would offer a lip on the ARC-8 a la the BBS RGR. Literally my dream wheel.
