This is exactly the type of issue I am trying to better understand - spoke stability for track car driven close to limit.

I know Apex has a decent reputation on this forum, but they are a pretty low load rating for a forged wheel at 1600lbs. I am concerned with that because I am running semi slick (Toyo Proxes RR) and regularly get into the 1.1-1.2g in turns. This is a significant load transfer on a heavy car.

I am trying not to spend nearly 10K on wheels and tires, which is where most of the other forged wheels will land at (~$1700/wheel x4 and ~$400/tire x4 = ~$9,200 for a full set). 1st world problems I know, but if I can be safe with the Apex forged, then I am closer to $5k and that is more palatable.

So that is a core question for the track people here - can I safely run Apex forged rims (1600lb load capacity per wheel) if I am pulling 1.1-1.2g

If the answer is no, what would be the minimum load rating I need for my track rims?
