Deal Overview

Following the success of our 18” Porsche wheels, we’re excited to release our first batch of 19” SM-10 fitments engineered for the Cayman/Boxster platform with an emphasis on the GT4 chassis. With this first round of production we focused on wider performance fitments, so we’ve skipped the generic 8.5” front wheels for now. Additional fitments for 911 chassis have also been developed and will be released in our next round.

3D laser scans of the factory brakes ensure our design clears the massive 380mm steel brakes on the GT4 and Spyder, as well as popular aftermarket brakes like the AP Racing by Essex 394mm Radi-CAL BBK. For those with the optional PCCB, click here to learn more about clearances with 19” wheels and where we stand on the subject...

For years, the enthusiast community has expressed a desire for a broader selection of lightweight, race-proven wheels at affordable prices. Owners were often faced with either paying an exorbitant amount of money for custom wheel solutions or significantly compromising quality and performance with conservative off-the-shelf options.

We solved that problem with our SM-10 wheel which was previously only available in 18” sizes. This release continues the expansion of available sizes for newer Porsche chassis that require 19” wheels to clear their brakes and/or rear suspension components.

This pre-order Group Buy allows Porsche enthusiasts around the world to “Gang Up” for a chance to receive the largest discount offered on our 19” wheels. The more enthusiasts who pledge, the greater the discount. With the ability to set a required discount, there is no risk in signing up early, as your order will only be processed if we reach your desired discount. With this site, you can configure your desired wheel fitment and finish, and add accessories like tires, TPM sensors, and color-matched metal valve stems. Click “Configure Deal” to see more.

Wheel Features

*The Race Silver finish is not available for this Group Buy. 19" SM-10 Cayman/Boxster wheels can be fitted with the OEM Center Caps.

The Flow Form Advantage

The Flow Form Advantage

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.

I-Beam Spokes

"I" Beam Spokes

One of the most prominent features of the SM-10 is its advanced "I" beam spoke machining. Any excess material that doesn’t add strength is carved out from the sides of the spokes using a precision CNC ball cutter. This process is often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, but for performance without compromise we believe it's essential.

alt

Bigger, Tougher Inner Lip

The inner lip is the most vulnerable part of a wheel because it has no spokes for support. Our Evolution line adds more material to this high-impact area as an extra layer of protection against track berms, potholes, and whatever else the road may throw at you.

alt

Maximizing Concavity

We use the deepest concave face profiles we can for every application after factoring in critical clearances such as brake calipers. The SM-10 utilizes 3 unique profiles to make this possible, with the deepest concave face delivering reduced weight and a stunningly aggressive appearance.

Big Brake Clearance

Big Brake Clearance

Big brakes often require bigger, heavier, more expensive wheels, which aren’t ideal in a performance environment. The SM-10 is one of our many wheels which solve this problem. Through comprehensive 3D laser scanning and endless rounds of test-fitting, we’ve created 19” wheels that clear the factory GT4 380mm steel brakes along with a variety of aftermarket kits including the notable AP Racing by Essex 394mm BBK.

Knurled Beads

Knurled Beads

Whether it’s a day at the track or months of street driving, repeated hard braking can make a tire slip along the bead seat and go out of balance, causing vibration. We’ve added knurled beads to help grip the tire and reduce unwanted slippage.

alt

Weight Optimized

We conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis to reinforce high stress areas and to remove material where it didn’t improve strength. The end result is a wheel with an ideal balance of strength and weight.

alt
alt

Built for Impact Sockets

Track wheels need track tools. Don’t settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All APEX wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast.

Finishing Touches

Finishing Touches

All Evolution line wheels are finished using a multi-stage liquid paint over a powder coated base coat. This coating process leaves lug holes, center bores and mounting pads untouched, which ensures proper fit and torque values.

alt

True Via

The VIA is an independent wheel testing and auditing agency similar to TÜV. Many companies falsely claim their wheels have been certified, and even use the VIA stamp without permission. Our wheels have been certified, and we provide the registration numbers for every wheel. Protect yourself. Demand registration numbers from manufacturers.

JWL and Beyond

All APEX wheels meet or meaningfully exceed JWL load rating requirements. Some manufacturers don't meet the minimum requirements, yet still claim to be compliant. Always compare load ratings to ensure you aren’t sacrificing critical strength for a slightly lighter wheel.

Lifetime Warranty

All APEX wheels come with a lifetime structural warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, plus a 1 year finish warranty. Exchanges are fast, easy, and hassle-free. See here for full terms and conditions.

50% Off Replacement Wheels

Deal Terms & Conditions

Non-Refundable Deposits

This Group Buy is for special order items that are hand built to order, so they require a non-refundable deposit. You will not be charged a deposit if you only show interest, or if you pledge and your discount goal is not met. If your discount goal is met or exceeded, then your pledge converts to a purchase and you will automatically be charged a $250 non-refundable deposit within 72 hours of the deal closing. The deposit will be charged to the payment method you provided during checkout. The remaining balance due will automatically be charged to the same payment method 1-2 weeks prior to your order shipping. If the balance payment is not captured within 3 business days of the initial attempt to collect, then the deposit will be kept and the order will be cancelled. You will be notified via email if there is a payment issue.

Ordering & Payment:

Group Buys are special-order, limited-time offers. Pricing is exclusively available to those who pledge and have their discount goal met within the allotted time period. No rain-checks, including members who only showed interest but failed to pledge, or those who pledged at a discount tier that was not reached.

Pledging to participate in a Group Buy is a commitment to purchase the items in the deal, at or below the discount goal selected during checkout. You will always receive the highest discount reached by the group even if the final discount is above the level you originally selected.

Orders can only be placed during the open phase of a Group Buy. Payment information will be collected, and a $1 authorization is placed to validate your payment details. At the close of the Group Buy, the final paid member tally determines the discount reached. If your discount goal was reached, then your pledge will convert to an official purchase and you will be charged a deposit as well as the remaining balance once the items are ready to be shipped. Your total balance will be the cost of your order’s configuration, less the discount reached by the group. If your discount goal was not reached, then you will be given one chance to reconsider. You will have 48 hours to alter your pledge and to participate in the deal at the final discount rate attained by the group. If you do not want to revise your pledge, your pledge will automatically be cancelled after 48 hours and you will not be charged.

Free Shipping:

This Group Buy offers free shipping to the 48 mainland US states. Buyers who have product shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, APO/FPO, and International destinations will receive a discounted shipping rate. APO/FPO should contact the vendor for a shipping quote as GangUp cannot calculate shipping via USPS for this deal.

Sales Tax

GangUp.com supports calculating sales tax based on each seller's preferences. For this deal, APEX charges sales tax for orders shipped to the following states: California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virgina, and Washington.

International Shipping, Duties, & Taxes:

GangUp.com supports calculating exact costs for international orders. Customers can view their final shipping costs prior to ordering including special shipping discounts. Shipping costs do not include importation taxes, duties or any other associated costs with importing the products sold in this Group Buy. The buyer will be responsible for paying all taxes and fees to the freight carrier directly.

Fulfillment:

Components in this Group Buy take time to produce after the deal closes. Vendors list the time it will take before an order will ship in the main description tab. Orders may not be cancelled if the vendor ships out the ordered product within 30 days of the originally stated “ship by date”. If dates are listed as a date range and not a specific date, then the vendor has 30 days from the last day within that range to honor their terms.

Availability:

This deal is a made to order format and no parts should sell out. If for any reason availability becomes an issue then orders will be fulfilled on a first-pledged-first-fulfilled basis. If any items is sold out then orders will be cancelled starting with the orders that were the last to pledge.

Refunds, Exchanges, and Cancellations:

Group Buy orders may only be exchanged if the product is defective. There are NO refunds on Group Buy orders. All orders are considered special order due to the unique production, fulfillment, and pricing of products. Group Buy orders may not be returned or exchanged for other products. Group Buy orders may only be warrantied for manufacturer defects or exchanged if the items received do not match the items ordered. These items do not share the same terms and conditions as traditional e-commerce purchases.

Product configurations may be edited by buyers through their GangUp accounts prior to the locking of the Group Buy. Pledges may be cancelled prior to the deal locking through the buyer's account or by contacting the vendor directly. Once the Group Buy locks and the finalization phase starts, options may not be changed, and pledges may not be cancelled.

We recommend purchasing product at the retail price directly with the vendor or one of their affiliates if you would like a traditional return policy.

Just a point of clarification prior to submitting lock. The front wheels at 9” and ET of 50 are ? distance out compared with stock wheels? (using calculators I get either 20mm (which makes sense) or using another, a value of 0.28” (7mm) which does not seem to be consistent)). What is the actual “poke” from stock values? (this is a major issue and another reason why I would prefer 8.5” fronts). Thanks

Using the wheel-size.com website, which I personally recommend, the wheel face will be pushed out 17mm with 9" and ET50 vs OEM GT4.

APEX Race Parts December 7th, 2020 - 12:19pm

Happy to dive into your fitment questions.

Compared to the factory 20x8.5" ET61 front wheel, the APEX SM-10 19x9" ET50 front wheel will sit 4.6mm further away from the strut (more clearance), and will poke 17.4mm more than before towards the fenders (less clearance).

~ET50 is the optimum offset for a 9" front wheel. If you raise the offset in attempt to gain more fender clearance, you would run into strut clearance issues with wide tire compounds. The goal is to run the highest offset possible while still maintaining enough inner strut clearance to accommodate the widest tire options GT4 owners are known to run (265/35-19). Keep in mind not all tires are created equal, and some aftermarket struts will have a slightly different silhouette in comparison to stock so we have to take all of this into consideration when choosing an offset.

For enthusiasts looking to improve performance/handling, 9" front wheels are a "no-brainer" for the Cayman/Boxster platform (unless class rules mandate 8.5") as they supply superior sidewall tire support over 8.5" wheels. 245/40-19 and 255/35-19 tire sizes will sit flush with the fender edge and work very well with little to no modifications, however, we suggest that enthusiasts max out their negative camber settings up front to gain a little extra fender clearance. Negative camber will also help with handling and tire longevity if you plan to track the car, so it should be done regardless of the wheel and tire specifications.

For hard core track enthusiasts and club racers running 265's up front, an increase in negative camber will be necessary (via the top mounts/camber plates) to ensure the tires do not make contact with the fenders upon suspension compression. With that said, aggressive negative camber specifications are desirable reasons I mentioned above so it is considered par for the course.

Is this going to be a set of wheels and tires you use for track days, or do you predominantly enjoy your car day to day on the street?

Feel free to contact us by phone if you would like to chat in further detail.

Best,
Ryan

Thank Ryan. I was thinking the same fitment. When I go to lock in deal, it keeps giving me a "Your session has expired. Please try again error." I created a free account. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here?

Was thinking about getting 18s, but I like this deal. What fitment do you recommend on 981 Cayman stock suspension? Looking at doing several track days per year.

Thanks for your interest. For a 981 Cayman on stock suspension, I would suggest our F. 19x9" ET50 / R. 19x10.5" ET44 setup. For tires, either F. 245/40-19 / R. 285/35-19 or F. 255/35/19 / R. 285/35-19 if you would like to improve turn-in and mitigate understeer.

Would this be a track only set, or would it be used on the street as well?

Feel free to give us a call if you would like to discuss in further detail.

Best,
Ryan

We expect to fulfill all Group Buy orders in February before next track season kicks off. We understand this is not as precise of a date as many would like, however we keep it high level to ensure we do not overpromise and underdeliver. The wheels are currently in production, and we'll continue to update all pledged enthusiasts as milestones are met.

As a side note, dates and additional details can be found under the terms tab.

Once the wheels hit the shelves, we plan to keep them in stock in healthy quantities going forward.

Best,
Ryan

Hi Johnny,

All APEX Porsche wheels are engineered to be compatible with your OEM R14 ball seat mounting hardware. They’ll also accept proper aftermarket hardware, stud kits and spacers.

Unfortunately, a third finish is not feasible for the first production run so we kicked things off with our two most popular finishes. We produce wheels in large quantities to ensure we have stock on the shelves, and economies of scale translates to better pricing to our customers. With that said, each fitment and finish we produce has a minimum order quantity associated, so we have to be careful that we do not produce too much too quickly.

I'm certainly looking forward to adding a light gold and/or silver finish in 2021.

Best,
Ryan

Ryan:

Does the SM-10 have basically the same lug bolt/stud "Grip" as an OEM wheel? Planning for upgrade to studs, need to know if OEM length will work.

Also, given the success of this Buy so far, any chance of adding back the usual third finish option of Race Silver (SM10)? It strikes me that some of the "Interested, but not Pledged" might commit given the additional finish option.

ACC - I’m in Toronto, Canada and use a Niagara Falls based company to bring it over the border. They have reasonable rates for shipping and duties hence you can take advantage of the free shipping from Apex within the US.

Free shipping to the border is certainly another option. Many Canadian customer have done that in the past as well!

Best.

Not sure there's a ton of savings as we'd still need to pay individual taxes etc. The shipping component to get across the border is fairly linear so not a lot to save. I use crossborderpickups.ca (no affiliation, just who I use).
