For Mustang fans who track their cars, readily available, durable, and affordable wheel options have always been limited
That said, APEX already designs wheels specifically for Mustangs. We are the official wheel of SpecMustang and a popular choice in the American Iron series. Numerous Mustang drivers in NASA, SCCA, AER and other series favor our wheels. Many GT350/GT350R owners appreciate our 19” offerings which offer increased brake clearance and rotatable fitments for longer tire life.
Now, APEX is set to launch more flow formed wheels for your S197 and S550 Mustang. We wanted to add more 18” fitments in our popular SM-10 design to offer track enthusiasts more square rotatable options when running take-off slicks and affordable R compound tires to extend tire life.
– Each design is the result of studying the chassis in detail, and factoring in variables like optimal tire compounds for both track and dual duty. – Designed to maximize width and traction for track enthusiasts. – Accommodate impact sockets and wide lugs. – Direct hub-centric 70.5mm bore. – Designed to accept OEM center caps and factory wheel hardware.
SN-95 DIRECT FIT WHEELS
For the first time, APEX is offering direct fit wheels for your SN-95 Mustang. We saw a hole in the community for a track focused, yet affordable option for enthusiasts, and wanted to fill that with our 18×9.5” ET22 EC-7 design. This lightweight, square, rotatable fitment will allow for popular 275 and 285 width compounds without the need for spacers.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
These wheels are covered under APEX’s famous no-questions-asked wheel replacement policy. If you damage a wheel in any way, such as curb rash, off-track excursions, potholes, or berms, you only pay 50% of the replacement cost. See full terms and conditions.

Prior to joining APEX, he worked as Service Advisor at an automotive performance shop. Never one to sit at a car show, Cory has had a lifelong passion for performance driving. His extensive track experience began with HPDEs in 2015. He soon got the itch to start competing in time trials, which he has been doing ever since. Among the cars he has tracked are three Mustang GTs (2005, 2006, 2011), a 2016 Fiesta ST, and his current ride, a 2010 Corvette Grand Sport with APEX SM-10RS wheels. Fun Fact: Apparently Cory’s love of speed isn’t limited to the racetrack; after not training at all, he recently ran a 5K and placed 7th out of 210 competitors.
