APEX: Why did you choose APEX Wheels over the rest?

Max Belforti: APEX wheels simply cannot be topped when considering performance & styling against price.

APEX: Are you into Track Racing?

Max Belforti: Absolutely, after racing karts as a kid I did my first track day at Laguna Seca in 2011 with my 2007 Roush Mustang and also tracked an E39 M5. I still remember when I blew off the oil drain door and shattered the lower engine cover on my E39 M5 after fully compressing the suspension driving down the corkscrew at Laguna. I use to average 3 or 4 events a year at Laguna while in college but haven’t gotten out on the track in a while.

APEX: Do you have any clubs, shops or racing buddies you want to give a shout out to?

Max Belforti: I’d like to give photo credit for my M6 to @yasmadness. Check out his killer F82! I’d also like to give a special thanks to @dinmanncf for the aero kit and one-off trunk on my E63.
