Autocross Champion
Following the release of our all-new VW SM-10 wheels, we were offered an opportunity to be a part of a joint-venture MK8 GTI build with Ramair Air Filters over in the UK. Considering APEX is based out of the US and the new MK8 has yet to hit showroom floors on our side of the pond, we figured this would be a perfect opportunity to get some preliminary fitment testing done in preparation for the arrival of the new MK8 Golf/GTI/R state-side. We are excited to confirm that our VW-specific SM-10 wheels not only provide a flush and aggressive fitment without needing any modifications but also pair incredibly well with the new modern styling of the MK8 GTI.
