APR Light Weight Flow Formed Wheels - New sizes, colors, and prices!

[Royalion]

I have photos of each. They all look basically the same, just larger when diameter increases.

any pics of the 18” on a vehicle?

 

[Arin@APR]

Thanks Wastegate13!

Royalion, I'll probably shoot some next week. Weather has been awful.

Everyone wanted 18's. Now people want 17's. The never ending cycle!

But for real though, I think this is it for a while.

Shame. I also want 17" and there aren't many options out there that are hub centric. Only one so far is Fast FC04 and Neuspeed RSE05. Thanks for expanding the size and colours though!

 

[Arin@APR]

Yeah, we could do it, I just don't know if the market is there for 17s. We'll see how this goes.

There's a market for lightweight 17x9 with a 57.1mm CB. Autocross guys been clamoring for this for awhile.

Attractive pricing for sure.

2 questions:

1. Is the finish "winter approved"? The salt belt is brutal...

2. Is there any damage replacement warranty like Apex offers? They offer a 50% discount to replace any damaged wheel.

I'm looking to buy two sets of wheels within the next year, one for winter, one for autox/track (ideally the same in case of damage to a wheel for easy swapping), but obviously the above two questions weigh heavily in that decision.

(Also, 17x8.5 or 9 with good caliper clearance would help push me this direction as well, 17" track tires are way cheaper and winter wheels more resilient to damage)

Wouldn't that rub? I think the widest is probably 17 X 8.5 on 245/40R17 tires without rubbing? Maybe 245/45R17?

Winter approved - We've sold the other sizes for years now. I can't say I've heard of issues.

Replacement - I don't have anything in writing like that at the moment. I'm guessing we could offer something, but I haven't been privy to any cases like that in the past.

17 - I just don't see it happening right now. At least not this year.

Lol you’ll come out with a 17 and then people will want 16s

17s mean cheap track tires, one of the major Motorsports expenses. 16s mean they sit in your garage because they don't fit over your brakes.

Yeah no.

That market might be 100 people at best.

You guys are extremely spoilt, here you are getting an awesome deal and there's still a "but".

Every part I buy has to be shipped via a boat or plane to my destination and I pay sometimes 3 to 4 times the price when it lands. Count yourselves lucky.
