Apex tires on Apex wheels? Seems like someone needs to do it.

This report certainly doesn't paint a good picture. I've had the Michelin PS4 and Pirelli PZ4 and there's a pretty big difference in the two, going down even further doesn't seem ideal. I'd imagine the PZ4 are still a good bit cheaper than the PS4, even though I wouldn't recommend them unless you were dealing with a lot of rain, where they are really, really good.

That would be one of my first choices for the VW forged wheels, potentially alongside Hyper Black.

Awesome! Your brushed finish is outstanding, I've seen it on a few BMW's and I can't get it out of my mind.

Oh dang. Now I'm tempted to sell my RS4s...

Thanks for the heads up. Bought 4 in anticipation of Apex wheels.
Was tempted to wait and have Discount price match, but risk that sale won't be there by the time wheels come in

Lol, I panic bought my RS4s like a month ago after hearing of the supposed rubber shortage. They’ve been taking up space in my living room ever since.
Oh wow. That is a ridiculous deal. Ordering 4 today!

I've heard rumors the RE-71Rs they have are all old stock, 2019 date codes. Just FYI.

I've been using them as my street tires and also ran them at a couple track events. I like them. I don't know that they particularly remarkable, but they stayed quiet, lasted a while, and they're not directional so you can swap them side to side and get a little extra life out of them. I'm happy enough with them that I'll replace them with another set when they wear out—no compelling reason to switch it up.

Filling in while Geirsen is on vacation, but we don't have the pricing finalized yet. It will be affected by the final design and the results of the survey to some extent.
