APEX SM-10 for VW Mk6 & Mk7 Golf
Introducing APEX’s new SM-10 wheels for the MK6 and MK7 VW Golf/GTI/R chassis. These 17” and 18” wheels will be offered in both 8.5” and 9” widths to ensure all types of drivers have access to the right wheel fitment for their specific needs. When the team at APEX Race Parts initially reached out to the Volkswagen community with the intention to offer a race-focused wheel line for the MK6/MK7 Golf chassis, the feature and functionality requests from engaged enthusiasts were overwhelming. They quickly learned there were numerous gaps in the current aftermarket offerings, and as a result, they made it their mission to engineer better wheel solutions for VW drivers on and off the race track.
Specifically, there was a demand for an aggressive, strong, and lightweight 17” track-focused wheel line with the ability to clear many of the popular big brake kits that typically forced enthusiasts to use 18″ wheels. For weekend track warriors and racers, running unnecessarily large 18” wheels meant more weight, less tire sidewall, and higher tire running costs. Leveraging laser scanning and exhaustive on-car fitment testing sessions, their engineers optimized the barrel shape and spoke curvatures of the SM-10 design which allows our most track-focused 17×9” wheel to clear the popular Macan/Q5 340mm brake upgrade, as well as noteworthy aftermarket BBK’s like Essex AP Racing and StopTech 355mm kits.
