1221 Wheels R5336 AP2X APEX3.0

1221 Wheels R5336 AP2X APEX3.0 — R-Series Two-Piece X-Series, Extreme Concave Architecture

The R-series designation in the 1221 X-Series catalogue identifies spoke designs engineered specifically for maximum concave depth — where the spoke geometry is shaped to function at the extreme dish profiles that the AP2X two-piece platform achieves. The R5336 is a five-spoke split-spoke design in which each spoke separates into three and then six sub-elements as it approaches the barrel, creating a face structure that becomes progressively lighter and more complex toward the outer rim. In the AP2X configuration — 1221's two-piece X-Series platform — the forged center disc and the forged outer barrel are separate components produced on the same 10,000-ton press, assembled with the 20|EX titanium fastener system, and treated with X-Series Flange & Rim Pocketing after forging. The result is a wheel that achieves monoblock visual clarity from the front while delivering the offset and width flexibility of a modular build — and that fills wide arch gaps with a spoke structure sophisticated enough to reward close inspection.

Need a Different Size?

Every 1221 Wheels R5336 AP2X APEX3.0 is manufactured to order at 1221's facility in City of Industry, CA. The two-piece construction means barrel depth — and therefore offset and concave depth — is set independently from the spoke tooling, allowing a wide range of fitment specifications from a single face design. If your vehicle requires a combination outside published specifications, contact us at [email protected] or WhatsApp at +44 748 881 8747 with your vehicle details, arch measurements, and brake system specifications. Our team confirms achievable concave depths with the 1221 production schedule before your order is placed. We also offer an AI Wheel Design Service if you want a custom spoke pattern or finish concept designed before production begins.

AP2X Construction: Two-Piece Monoblock Aesthetics with Modular Offset

The AP2X platform was developed by 1221 as the answer to a specific fitment problem: how to achieve monoblock visual clarity — no visible seam from the front, no exposed hardware at the rim — while retaining the offset and width adjustability that only a modular build can deliver. The solution is an assembly architecture where the independently forged barrel is bolted to the forged disc using 20|EX hardware that installs below the spoke surface in machined recesses. From the front, the wheel reads as a single machined piece. From the side, the hardware is invisible. The X-Series Flange & Rim Pocketing adds CNC-machined material removal to the assembly flange and the inner barrel section, reducing unsprung mass at positions where FEA confirms the geometry is non-load-bearing. For the R5336 split-spoke design, this construction method supports the complex spoke geometry with the structural integrity of forged components while delivering the deep concave profiles the R-series is designed for.

Vehicle Fitment Guide — Sport GT and Wide-Body Applications

The 1221 Wheels R5336 AP2X APEX3.0 is specified for sport GT builds, wide-body conversions, and performance vehicles where a complex, split-spoke face design is required alongside precise offset control. The R-series geometry reads well at larger diameters — 20" to 24" — where the spoke splitting and sub-element complexity becomes fully visible at normal viewing distances.

Other Bolt Patterns — Drilled to Any Specification

Every R5336 AP2X APEX3.0 is custom-drilled to your vehicle's PCD as part of the standard build process. The forged center disc is drilled as an isolated component, so any PCD can be accommodated without affecting the barrel specification or concave profile. Standard patterns: 5×112, 5×114.3, 5×120, 5×130, 5×108, 5×100. Extended patterns including 6×139.7, 5×127, 4×100, and 4×108 are available. Centre bore is machined to your vehicle's exact nominal dimension. Contact [email protected] with your PCD, thread pitch, and seat type for production confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the R-series designation mean in the 1221 X-Series?
The R-series identifies spoke designs that are engineered to perform at extreme concave depths — where the spoke geometry is specifically shaped to fill wide barrel openings while maintaining structural integrity. R-series designs tend to have split spoke structures or radial elements that become more visually complex as diameter increases. R5336 uses a five-spoke split that branches into three and then six sub-elements toward the barrel.

What is the difference between AP2X and AP2?
The AP2X adds X-Series Flange & Rim Pocketing to the standard AP2 two-piece construction — CNC-machined material removal from the assembly flange and inner barrel at FEA-confirmed positions. This reduces unsprung weight without affecting structural rating. The visual difference is the pocketed flange texture; the fitment capability (offset range, width range) is the same as AP2.

Can I order a two-tone finish on the R5336 AP2X?
Yes — two-tone finish is a standard capability of any two-piece AP2X build. The center disc and outer barrel are finished as separate components and assembled once both sections are complete. Any combination of the 34 standard finishes across the two sections is available, and custom RAL or polished lip treatments can also be specified.

Is the R5336 suitable for daily driving?
Yes. The AP2X uses the same 6061-T6 aerospace aluminium and FEA-validated construction as the standard AP2, and is fully suitable for road use and daily driving in all weather conditions. The standard high-durability finish is engineered to withstand road salt, brake dust, and temperature cycling. Follow the care instructions provided with your order to maintain the finish.

What wheel weight should I expect at 20×10.5J?
1221 does not publish standard weight figures as every wheel is built-to-specification, but as a reference point the AP2X at 20×10.5J typically runs 10–12 kg depending on finish and concave profile. The X-Series pocketing provides a measurable reduction versus the non-pocketed AP2 equivalent. For a precise weight estimate specific to your specification, contact us with your full fitment details.

Does the R5336 AP2X fit within standard production time?
Yes — R-series models are part of 1221's standard build-to-order catalogue and are produced at the same facility in City of Industry, CA with the same 3–6 week lead time. Unusual finish combinations or custom RAL may add 1–2 weeks to production scheduling.

Wheel Care

The 1221 Wheels R5336 AP2X APEX3.0 is finished in 1221's standard high-durability coating. The split-spoke structure of the R5336 creates narrow gaps between spoke sub-elements where road debris and brake dust can collect — use a soft-tip spoke brush to reach these areas during each wash. For general care: rinse after every drive in salted or wet conditions; wash with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner; avoid alkaline degreasers and abrasive compounds on Brushed Gloss and Brushed Matte finishes; apply a non-silicone sealant to the barrel section after each wash. Torque the 20|EX fasteners to the order specification and re-check after the first 50 km following any wheel removal or refitting.
