APEX | 19" EC-7 Pre-Order Group Buy

APEX 19” EC-7 Lightweight Wheel - Pre-Orde rGroup Buy


We've successfully hosted these dozens of times before, and now we're offering the same huge savings for the new 19” EC-7 wheel. These new wheels are arriving in June, so this is our official 19” EC-7 pre-order Group Buy. Over 290 members participated in our February wheel Group Buys, and all of them received deep discounts.



We wanted to support a larger part of the BMW community so there are fitments for the E46 M3, E82 1M, F30, E9X, and E9X M3, and Z models. The Group Buy will be listed on multiple forums where we will be monitoring and updating all Group Buy threads: M3Forums, Bimmerforums, E46Fanatics, e90post, M3post, and Zpost. Spread the word, because the more members that sign up, the lower the price will be for everyone!

  • Free shipping and this discounted price are for product in this group buy only, and does not cover extras added to the cart such as spacers, lugs, center caps or other store products, unless those products also offer free shipping. Adding others parts may result in a shipping fee.

  • Due to package sizes, the cart may calculate an unreasonable shipping rate for some add on items. If this occurs, contact us prior to checkout, and we will adjust your extra item shipping costs if there is an issue.

  • Non Group Buy parts will ship with your wheel order unless requested in the comment field at checkout.




Local Pickup Discount:


  • Local customers who pick up their set will receive a $35 discount on their order in lieu of free shipping. Local pickup discounts are provided at time of pickup as a refund, and are not provided in advance. You MUST write "local pickup" in the comment field at checkout so that we do not ship your order. We will call you when your set is ready to schedule a pickup from our Livermore 94550 warehouse.




When do these ship?:



CURRENT ETA: Orders will begin shipping out on June 25th, with almost all orders shipped by middle of July.


  • This is a Group Buy. Wheels do not ship the day after making payment like a traditional order.

  • Due to the high volume extra time will be needed to process orders.

  • Wheel orders should ship in the order that they were received.

  • We cannot guarantee an exact ETA date. Our estimates have historically been conservative and within +/- two weeks of our ETA date.

  • Because this Group Buy offers free shipping, we cannot provide expedited shipping in the event of a delay. Minor delays may occur, please allow for extra order processing time.

  • We will keep everyone up to date of even minor changes if they occur via this thread.

  • Tracking numbers will be provided to all buyers, and important progress updates will be posted on this forum, and on corresponding product pages.




Availability


  • Some sizes and finishes will sell out.

  • Availability is limited to supply on hand.

  • No back-orders, or rain-checks. This discount is available while supplies last.

  • We will try to stay up to date with sold out finishes/sizes by posting them here and on the forums, as well as on the website.

  • Within a day of placing an order request, we will contact you if the wheels you have requested have been sold out. You will have the option to change to a different finish or fitment if you’d like, or you may cancel your order




How do I join? Payments and Sign-up info


  • This Group Buy is currently in the “feeler” phase. During this period members simply need to post their requested sizes/finish. We will add you to our master list and combine that across all the forums. No payment is necessary until the Payment phase begins on June 19th. You are not obligated to pay after adding your name to the list.

  • During the payment phase, a link will be posted to a checkout page on our site. Domestic buyers should use our site to complete payment. International buyers should contact us for an invoice and PayPal or wire transfer details.

  • The last day to join and make payment is by midnight Pacific time, June 24th, 2014. No orders can be placed after this date.

  • Buyers are not officially part of the Group Buy until they've paid on our website's Group Buy page or contacted us to make payment.

  • Credit cards will be authorized only for the price listed at sign-up. Cards will be charge the final price after the close of the Group Buy and the member count is totaled. This automatically insures that everyone is billed for the highest discount reached, regardless of when they joined

  • PayPal accounts will be charged the amount due at sign-up due to a lack of authorization feature. If additional discount levels are reached, then PayPal paying members will receive partial discounts to make up for the difference.

  • The Group Buy page will contain a list of members as they join. It is updated as they sign up within 24 hours and does not accurately represent the exact number of members at any given time.

  • If Aftermarket Performance Express Corp. elects to cancel the group buy due to low order volume or a production issue, ALL customers will be provided full refunds if their payment was already processed.




Discount Tiers


  • The price you pay at sign up is based on how many members are on the feeler list.

  • At the close of the Group Buy, everyone's order/payment will be adjusted up or down to the final discount tier reached. In almost all cases, we end up reaching higher tier levels, which results in all or most paying members receiving additional discounts.

  • In the end, everyone pays the same price.

  • There is zero advantage in signing up at the last minute, yet most members still wait till the last ~2 days.

  • Early sign-ups promote others to sign-up, and gives confidence to the stragglers. If you know you’re buying then pay early to keep the momentum going.




Refunds


  • There are NO refunds on Group Buy orders. Group Buys are special order, which is why payment is taken in advance

  • Only replacement of defective, or mis-shipped products are available.

  • Members cannot change colors or sizes after item receipt for Group Buy orders.

  • These products are priced at promotional pricing and do not carry that same return policy as our retail priced items. If you would like a traditional 30 Day return policy then we recommend purchasing at the retail price, and not via the Group Buy.

Wheel Details:



EC-7 Product Information:



These new 19” widths and offsets are more aggressive than our track-oriented 18” sizes, and allow for a more flush fitment. Wide widths and specialized offsets make sure these wheels are still a big step up in tire sizes and performance, not just an aesthetic upgrade. The wheel’s design has been tweaked to further enhance functionality and appearance. The center pad depth has been increased on all sizes to further accentuate spoke concavity. Inner lips were thickened to increase strength and better handle the abuse from low profile and stretched tires. These wheels include a newly redesigned sleek black center cap made from a more heat-resistant material for increased durability in track environments. Of course, OEM center caps and TPMS sensors still work perfectly.



An optimized car setup begins with the perfect wheel fitment. Without the ideal fitment, your car's performance potential is always compromised. With this in mind, we’ve added 10 new 19” BMW-specific fitments to compliment our 13 existing 18" sizes. The 19” EC-7’s are produced using three unique face profiles ranging from moderate to extreme concavity. This wide range of vehicle-specific 19” fitments allows for maximum concavity, proper caliper clearance, wider tires, and an overall ideal setup.



The EC-7 wheel line was originally created to address the concerns of more and more racers and track day enthusiasts: long term durability, fit and performance. With the increase of faster and heavier cars being used in racing, HPDEs, and spirited driving, the EC-7 was designed and engineered to handle extreme abuse on the track & street and offer a wide range of direct fitments, all while producing a lightweight wheel. We’ve taken these strength and endurance features even further with the 19” line to produce a very stylish and functional wheel.




Misc.


  • Comes with redesigned gloss-black APEX center caps

  • Accepts OEM Roundel center caps

  • Does not come with valve stems

  • Installs using your factory lugs or a stud conversion

  • BMW hub-centric - no centering rings

  • Accepts all wheel spacers including 5mm while still remaining hub-centric

  • TPMS compatible
