APEX light alloy wheels are the next evolution in flow-forged wheel technology for BMWs. Flow-forming is a semi-forging process that produces a wheel typically stronger than a traditional cast wheel yet is still light weight. The wheels are around 10lbs lighter per wheel than a comparable factory wheel! That's reduced unsprung weight that improves all aspects of performance. The spokes and barrel have been designed to allow generous clearance for big brakes. In other words, these wheels are very impressively engineered and look great too! The design is based on classic motorsport themes that blend with BMW styling and appearance. These wheels look right at home on many BMW models. Multiple color and profile options allow you to set just the right look and stance for your car. As well as being pleasing to the eye these are very strong and functional wheels that are at home on the street as well as the racetrack. Don't let the price fool you - these wheels are high quality, high strength, and in high demand.

All APEX wheels are the BMW standard 5/120 bolt pattern and with a 72.6mm center bore. They are a direct fit many BMW models and may fit other models with a specific wheel spacer. The original BMW center cap, TPMS sensors, and original lug bolts are all carried over from your original wheels (wheel bolts may vary if spacers are used). They come in a wide variety of diameter, width, and offset combinations which gives you multiple fitment and application opportunities. For street use we generally recommend a staggered setup with a rear wheel slightly wider than the front. For track and racing applications a square setup is desired with the same width in the front and rear. Wheel offsets may also vary based on the clearances and stance you wish to achieve. Refer to our image gallery for inspiration. If you'd like more input give us a call or e-mail and we'd be happy to go over the many options with you.

Note: careful consideration of wheel width, offset and tire sizing must be observed when choosing and installing larger wheels. Adding larger wheels may lead to rubbing on suspension components or bodywork. Wheel spacers, new alignment settings, inside fender modifications, or other adjustments may be required.

Price is per wheel.

• 75MM, 85MM, or 95MM LENGTHS
• Dry film lubricant HM-30 coating containing Teflon & Moly over a manganese phosphate finish
• Innovative nut-starter and bullet shape radius that all but eliminates cross-threading
• Properly sized shank to work with a wide range of brake rotor, wheel, and nut combinations
• Heat-treated aircraft quality alloy steel
• Developed from over 20 years of top level NASCAR use
• These studs are installed using the traditional 'double-nut' method (one regular nut and one jam nut) with thread locking compound (red Turbo-Lock or similar).

Wheel studs are among the safest and most beneficial upgrades you can make on a track car. Not only are wheel studs safer than wheel bolts but they make changing wheels/tires much easier. One of the frustrating things about installing your wheels on the hub is that it's difficult to line up the wheel on the bolt holes. As wheels get larger but also heavier it's even more trouble. Add in a wheel spacer and the task is twice as hard. BMW does produce a wheel alignment pin for this purpose but if you're changing wheels often a stud conversion is the better way to go.

MSI Racing specializes in hardware for motorsports and other advanced industries and their wheel studs are some of the very best in the professional motorsports world. MSI is already a major supplier to teams in the top NASCAR categories and we tried them on our Grand-Am/IMSA racecars and were very impressed by the performance and durability of their designs. After testing them over the course of a few endurance seasons we decided to offer them to all of our customers as well. These studs are available in multiple lengthsand all sizes are made with aircraft quality material and have roll formed threads. The coating is a dry film lubricant HM-30 coating containing Teflon & Moly over a manganese phosphate finish. This coating process reduces friction and wear to prevent thread galling. Another benefit is that these have the best corrosion resistance we have seen in any wheel stud! A dry lube stud has the most corrosion resistance than a plain black coating because the lube is applied over the black phosphate coating. Salt tests have shown this stud is superior to others in corrosion resistance. Other features of our MSI studs include a large bullet nose nut-starter and a properly sized shank to work with a wider range of BMW wheel, nut, and brake rotor combinations.

These studs are the perfect choice for endurance racers, sprint racers, track-only cars, or even hardcore street cars. The bullet nose on this stud is deeper than other studs we have used. More of the stud protrudes through the open nut so that everything lines up better on the threads. This helps to eliminate the possibility of cross-threading or thread stripping. In addition, the shank has been machined for proper brake rotor alignment. The dry lube helps the nut engage and glide over the threads for faster pit stops without cross threading or binding.

Not all wheel studs are created equal. We don't take a manufacturer's generic wheel stud from their catalog and call it our own. Turner Wheel Studs are designed to our own specifications and manufactured for us exclusively. Beware of cheaper studs on the market! We have seen other studs similar to our own designs that are not a true BMW fitment. There are differences that we have ironed out over our years of selling wheel studs for the BMW market. Our stud prices may be slightly higher than the rock bottom prices on the web but we promise that it's a higher quality.
