The term Staggered refers to running two pairs of wheels with differing widths on either end of the vehicle. For example, you may want to run an 8.5' wide wheel in the front while running a 10' wheel in the rear. This can be done to increase traction in the rear by increasing the contact patch, but will also provide a dramatic contrast when running deep dish wheels.
Apex EC-7RS 18x9 ET30 18x9.5 ET35 Wheel Set Apex 9"/9.5" wheel set for the front and rear of your BMW. These are a bit wider than stock to put more rubber to the road. This helps to reduce understeer on cars with staggered wheel sets and gives you the option to rotate tires. Adding a wider wheel will get you more rubber where it counts - reducing understeer and improving initial turn-in. APEX light alloy wheels are the next evolution in forged wheel technology for BMWs. 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. 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.

Apex SM-10 18x9.5 ET22 18x10.5 ET22 Wheel Set These are a bit wider than stock to put more rubber to the road. This helps to reduce understeer on cars with staggered wheel sets and gives you the option to rotate tires. If you're tracking your BMW you should absolutely have a square wheel set (the same size front and rear). Adding a wider wheel will get you more rubber where it counts - reducing understeer and improving initial turn-in. 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.

APEX wheels are stronger, lighter wheels than typical cast wheels thanks to their Flow-formed semi-forging process. These wheels are on average 10 lbs lighter or more! This reduces unsprung weight and allows for the best performance possible. The spokes and barrel are designed to allow as much room as possible for brake systems while retaining a classic motorsports theme that matches perfectly with the aggressive BMW style. Thanks to these qualities, these wheels will keep your looks and perform at your best with plenty of confidence! A great-looking performance wheel - with no-fuss fitment. 18x9.5" ET22/18x10.5" ET22

APEX VS-5 18x10" ET25 & 18x11" ET44 Staggered Wheel Set VS-5 maximizes the performance potential of a flow-formed wheel. It combines features typically only found on forged wheels with a premium look at an unbeatable price. Features: Iconic 5-Spoke Design Side-Milled Spokes for Reduced Weight Reinforced Inner Lip for Strength Massive Brake Clearance Ultra-Concave Face Profiles Independently Tested and Certified Unmatched Replacement Program Lifetime Structural Warranty The VS-5 brings the aggressive look of our iconic forged VS-5RS to a flow-formed wheel. At a fraction of the price of its forged sibling, VS-5 punches well above its weight and maximizes the performance potential of a flow-formed wheel. With nearly two decades of experience perfecting track-ready flow-formed wheels, we engineered the VS-5 to deliver Real Performance at an unbeatable value. With a strength-to-weight ratio and features typically reserved for forged wheels, the VS-5 pushes the boundaries of flow-formed manufacturing to the max. Weighing only ~2-2.5 lbs more than its forged sibling, the VS-5 isn’t just a top tier option in the flow-formed space, it’s a wheel we consider the last step in performance before leveling up to a forged design. Flow-forming enables us to create high-performance wheels without the price premium of forging. It improves the mechanical properties and grain structure of the barrel, increasing its strength and stiffness, which allows us to use less material and reduce weight. Thanks to our superior engineering, our flow-formed wheels have a higher load rating than some competitors' forged wheels. A critical part of VS-5’s remarkable weight-savings, side-milled spokes also help with its stunning looks. The VS-5 features advanced side-milled spokes that have any excess material that doesn’t add strength removed from the sides of the spokes via precision CNC ball cutter. This process is often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, but for performance without compromise, we believe it's essential. The inner lip is the most vulnerable part of a wheel because it has no spokes for support. Our flow-formed Evolution Line adds more material to this vulnerable area as an added layer of protection against impact from track berms, potholes, and whatever else the road may throw at you.

Apex VS-5RE 19x9.5" ET22 & 19x11" ET44 Staggered Wheel Set The VS-5RE is the forged Enduro version of our popular VS-5 design. It features our highest load rating and our strongest lip, allowing it to withstand abuse, lap after lap. Features: Fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum Stronger 2100 lb. load rating Stiffer side-milled spokes Heavy-duty Enduro Spec inner lip Capless hub design to reduce weight Massive brake clearance Unmatched replacement program Lifetime structural warranty Independently tested Sharing a similar split five spoke layout to our popular Sprint Line VS-5RS, the all new VS-5RE was designed to prioritize both strength and stiffness. The reality is that most enthusiasts and racers benefit far more from increased strength than they would from a small decrease in weight. The VS-5RE and the Enduro line as a whole was introduced to give the enthusiast community the choice to choose what's best for their application. In our pursuit of absolute strength, the Forged VS-5RE was given dramatically thicker spokes, our thickest ever Enduro Spec inner lip, and a substantially reinforced outer lip. When all put together, the VS-5RE is rated at an impressive 2100 lb max load. A major increase over its Sprint Line counterpart sitting at a 1600 lb load rating. To achieve this level of strength, our engineers added a considerable amount of material to the areas where it matters most. This does come with a bit of a weight penalty, however a host of weight saving measures have been implemented to minimize its effect. Deep spoke scalloping is utilized to shave material from the sides of spokes without compromising strength. Outer lip pocketing, a feature only seen on the Enduro Line within the Apex catalog, does away with excess material on the outer lip between each spoke. Our aim is for the Enduro VS-5RE to become the wheel of choice for anyone who appreciates the benefit of strength and stiffness over small weight savings. One must ask themselves how much faster will they truly be by dropping a few pounds of rotating mass and is it worth the trade off of losing confidence that your wheels will hold up lap after lap. Wheels lacking in stiffness flex under load, leading to lost camber during demanding cornering. Ultra lightweight wheels look great on paper, but they could cost you in the form of a lost podium or high cost of replacement. Whether you’re a hardcore racer or an enthusiast who appreciates great engineering, the VS-5RE is the answer.
