We caught up with APEX Sponsored, Oren Holzman (@neroman98), and his turbo charged Scion FRS at Streets of Willow Springs for a recent 86 CUP event. He races in the 86 CUP Modified Class, a Time Attack competition based out of California for Scion FRS, Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ enthusiasts. His FRS features a rotatable square setup of our 17″ ARC-8 wheels wrapped in Bridgestone RE71R tires. Our wheels are ultra lightweight and provide a hub centric, direct fit for this popular chassis. It was great to see Oren back on track after some time away dealing with some turbo issues and getting the car dialed in.

Matt became the JDM Product Expert at APEX Wheels in 2022. Prior to joining APEX, he worked extensively in automotive sales. As an enthusiast he made the shift from street driving to track driving in order to fully experience his cars at the limit without putting the public at risk. Matt has owned six Hondas (‘94 Integra LS, ‘95 Integra RS, ‘96 Integra GS-R, ‘06 RSX Type-S, ‘95 Civic VX, ‘17 Civic EX-T), two Subarus (‘15 Impreza, ‘22 BRZ), and is likely shopping for the next addition to his stable. When he’s not helping JDM owners figure out the best wheel setups for their cars, he enjoys playing racing video games and indulging his interest in automotive photography. Fun fact: Matt knows every quotable line in The Fast and the Furious by heart.
