Between the Apex ec-7 and the forgestar F-14, both 19x10 with 285/35/19 pilot sport 4s tires. What would you go with?

Planning on doing about 5 or 6 HPDE events a year

Forgestar F-14

F-14 if you can stand the wait. Took me over 16 weeks to get mine delivered.
Also, bump up to 19x11 square if you can. I am running 19x11s on all 4 corners. If you run some negative camber they won’t poke too much up front at the top. Also running 11” rims allow you to run 305s and some series run the 19” pirellis racing slicks. Might score some used takeoffs that way.

I believe the apex has a more durable finish as I have seen some pretty bad looking f14s that were only s few years old

I guess it depends on how well the rims are washed of caustic brake dust and brake pad compounds. Mine are over 2 years old and finish looks good still. But I bought mine for second set of autocross rims and they are more function over show rims. Plus I didn’t get the higher gloss version, I stayed with the semi gloss (not flat black ) powder coating. Finish has held up bolt holes too as I take mine off sometimes 1-2 times a month
