Right, the Supra is on the SM-10s but I think the white M4 in the side by side shot is on our FL-5s. It's hard to tell from the angle though. Thanks for sharing!
I ordered a set of the 19 " Staggered wheels in Satin Bronze today. They will be going on an Absolute zero 2021 supra thats lowered on the EU spec Z4 springs, a .8" drop front and rear. Can't wait to get these wheels.
We are very excited to have officially launched our GR Supra wheel program! The purpose of this thread is to compile on-car photography of APEX forged and flow formed wheels on GR Supra’s, while providing the community with detailed information surrounding wheel and tire fitment, alignment settings, brake and suspension clearances, and more. Please feel free to ask questions along the way, we have experts ready to provide technical support. If you would like to learn more about our Forged and Flow Formed Supra wheels, please visit our introduction thread.
We'll go ahead kick things off by showing off a favorite photo of each of our available designs:

Both the inner and outer portions of our SM-10 wheels have knurling along the bead seats. These are small machined cuts that run along the surface of the seat:
Thank you for this information. I recognized the knurled section on the front section of the wheel but didn't notice the knurled section on the back section of the wheel. I informed the shop of the front knurled edge but didn't tell them it was like that on the back side. I'm hoping this was the issue. The shop did end up putting 40lbs of air in the tires when they mounted them the second time, as well as the bead sealer, and so far the wheels have been sitting in my garage and haven't leaked any air.Both the inner and outer portions of our SM-10 wheels have knurling along the bead seats. These are small machined cuts that run along the surface of the seat:
This knurling helps keep your wheels and tires balanced on track or in situations where you are braking heavily or accelerating rapidly. On a standard smooth bead, the tire can slide along the surface over time which gradually unbalances the wheel and tire. The knurling helps reduce this slippage ensuring your drive home from the track is smooth.
These small cuts can make getting a seal at the bead when initially mounting the tires more difficult. We generally recommend airing up the tire that is leaking to the maximum pressure specified on the sidewall for a few minutes to help seat the bead. You can drive slowly around the block if needed at the higher pressure to help them seat as well. After a few minutes, deflate the tire to the recommended PSI for your car. This fixes the leaking beads without the need for any bead sealer in the cases we've seen so far. Your car should be safe to drive and you can monitor the tire pressures as needed for the first week or so just to be sure.
Let us know if you have any other questions!

So update to my last post. Wheels and tires are on the car and so far the PS4S's are holding air just fine at 42 PSI, no leaks so far and I went for a 15 minute drive. Car looks amazing with these SM-10's. I will be getting better pics in the day light later on.
This car is beautiful and the wheels compliment it so well!Satin Bronze has been getting a ton of love and rightfully so, but I thought I'd share these customer photos of some 19" Anthracite SM-10s.

Looks like 275/30x19 are on backorder but 265/35x19 are readily available. No issues running 265/35x19 in fronts and 305/30x19 in rears correct?
That is correct. It should be a bolt on fitment for you! Here are some photos to give you an idea of that it looks like:
