Ya'll are killing me here.
Some of my colleagues and I have been trying to find some unique used cars for sale for under 10k, hence the Merc listing. With this current market, you really have to think outside of the box to find something that isn't a total POS at the 10k mark. Thankfully I have a Tacoma for towing duty, so a diesel ML is not in my future.
You're definitely not the first person to bring this up! I have been wanting wheels for my boat trailer ever since I started with APEX!

Don't hold your breath for free shipping. A lot of shipping carriers (UPS in our case) have increased their rates significantly over the last 6 months. While we won't be offering free shipping for our holiday promotions this year, we have made an effort to keep our customer-facing shipping rates the same as to not push the cost increase on to our customers.
With that said, our VW Fall sale will be starting on Monday the 18th and we will be sending out our promotional email highlighting all of the details first thing that morning.
Stay tuned!
While a 245/40-18 isn't necessarily one of our main tire size recommendations for the MK7 (due to its taller-than-OEM overall rolling diameter), I have seen a few people run it without any issues. Typically, a fender screw mod is required (depending on ride height and specific tire selection) to alleviate any rubbing that might occur under suspension compression.

I appreciate the response, honesty and advice. 235 is what I have now and will stick with that.

I really want the FL-5. If we get enough interest in FL-5 will Apex consider that as the next wheel fitment for the VW/Audi platform? 18x9 for me in silver.

We have high offsets, no lip for us.

As @bentin noted, the widths/offsets required for VW are not ideal for a wheel design with a lip. While the FL-5 works great for wide/low offset BMW fitments, it would leave a lot to be desired in a slimmer/high offset VW/Audi fitment. This is the reason we went with the SM-10 initially, as it is basically a FL-5 without a lip.

Hi Geirsen, do the center caps have a 20% discount?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! They are supposed to be a part of the VW hardware sale (20% off) but after checking our website, it seems that they are still listed at full retail price. I will get the pricing updated to reflect the sale ASAP. The change should be live by the time you read this post.
Also, another important note. The website has just been adjusted to reflect our current VW stud conversion kit inventory. We just received the silver nut kits, which are ready to ship once an order is placed. However, the black nut kits had to be custom ordered for VW spec from our supplier and won't be arriving until late January/early February of next year. That said, if you want a stud kit now, silver will be your only option.

Quick question, would I be able to use the OEM bolts with the rims without having a stud conversion?
