I keep debating these apex wheels. 18x11 would be nice as track only with a 275 on it. Cost is right $1175. I have worrying about scratching my forged set which is so dumb. They're wheels of course they're going to get dinged up. Too much poke??

Grabbed my half off HPDE discount this morning. ? It's a weekday event which I really like. I prefer to get away from work and not the family on the weekend ?

@PointByPatrol can you link to thermal tape or whatever you wrapped the wheel speed sensors with? If I take off the dust shields to do the ball joints I will not be putting them back on.

Would you like to buy my forged set? ?
I'll pass lolol...I already have 2 sets of wheels, so you saved me from a third set .

They were literally in my cart and my wife called me or I heard her come downstairs and had to abort mission for later lol. It's definitely a good buy! Congrats!

Is that the normal price for a big brake kit nowadays? Hopefully the HRC kit that they’ve been teasing on the Type S gets released soon. But I was hoping it would be under $2k lol. I think I’m a bit out of touch with aftermarket prices lol.
The whole video is an advertisement for AP Racing? No kidding, I really enjoyed what I've watched so far. Work keeps getting in the way.

There are many cheaper I don't know about sub 2k but 5k is on the expensive side. AP is high quality stuff. Just pricy.

Paragon was under $3k, now it's a bit over, but probably the cheapest one for our platform.

On my Golf R I had the 6 piston Stoptechs that were $2500 a few years ago and now it's over $5k, things certainly got inflated
