APEX wants to hear from you and ensure we are providing the designs you want the most for the Camaro community, and thus we’re asking for your feedback on which direction we should go. APEX has always put the community first and takes your guidance and opinions into everything we offer. Whether you love our current designs or want to see something else, we want to know! Have a finish that you love, but we don’t offer it yet? We want to know! We are excited to continue our relationship with this community and ensure you are proud of the fitment and style wheels being offered.

So when you grab your next cup of coffee, or during your late-night forum browsing, could you take a minute to share your thoughts with us? We appreciate your feedback and look forward to contributing to this community further.

Fixed, but same survey either way

Ha ha, where is the "whichever is lightest" option? Some of them appear to be new designs (or old designs brought back from the dead? I'm a newbie).

BrandanK · 03-10-2021, 03:25 PM

I love the PS-7 design. Wish that was still an option.

...whats up with the SM-10's in the survey selection, if the "Camaro Specific" SM-10's are supposed to be already in play for a potential "Group-Buy" in "March".

It's one of our designs so we included it in a survey asking people which of our designs they prefer...the Group Buy is definitely happening! Be on the look out next week

Hoping my 19x10 bronze ARC-8s make it before my track day in April, but my first choice would have been FL-5 in 19x10, bronze, dual flow-formed, bead-knurled, Camaro hubcentric if it existed.

Will do... Thank you!!

Those designs are all fundamentally the same - straight, scrawny spokes with a sunken hub. They predominantly differ in two aspects - how many spokes and whether any are at offset angles to others. "G" looks like they came off of the third gen TL-S.

If you're going to ask for preferred finishes, it would be great to see examples of the finish instead of just descriptions. Are these glossy? Matte? Somewhere in between? Solid color? Metal Flake?

enzia35 · 03-10-2021, 05:43 PM

I'm seeing 7 options in the survey but only 4 wheels listed on your site. What are the model numbers for options E-G?

I think I'd go with the SM-10, with the ARC-8 second. Bronze color would look awesome on Garnet Red.

Akura · 03-10-2021, 08:56 PM

Why don’t you offer direct fitment for Camaro 6gen but with different ETs than stock?

Imagine 19x11, will be nice to have the option with ET lower than 20 (15, 14 or 13) who will allows to use it in front of a ZL1 without care about the clearance with the MRC suspension.

Good point, I'll mention that to our engineering team who put this together. For reference, all of these will be a Gloss or Satin finish, we don't do Matte.

Those are potential new wheel designs we're coming out with

Hi, I think you might be mistaken with the offsets. The 19x11" ET11 does fit the front of your standard ZL1 without spacers. Spacers only become needed when you max out the camber via the spindle. If camber plates are used (which they should be for better clearance and more adjustment), no spacers are needed.

If you had an offset of +15 for example, that would move the wheel even closer to the suspension with less room to spare. For our 18" Camaro wheels, the offset will be a bit more aggressive to help with this, but you do run the risk of it being too wide past the outer fender if you get too aggressive with it.

GM did a really nice job with wheel fitment on these cars, so there isn't a whole lot of change that needs to happen with aftermarket performance wheels. This is the only community we cater to where this is the case. So congrats on that

It would be great to have an offering in a 19” wheel that is the correct width and offset that looks just like a 1LE wheel.

Is this something that your engineering department considered?

How many other people would want to get a set of them if that was an option?

So many people like the 1LE wheel. But the only option is 20” from 2 sources.
