1221 Wheels 0770 AP2 APEX3.0 — Two-Piece Architecture, Monoblock Clarity
The 0770 is the model that defines what a two-piece forged wheel is supposed to look like: no visible seam from the front, no exposed hardware at the lip, no compromise in face proportions — just the visual discipline of a production monoblock combined with the offset and width flexibility that only a modular build can deliver. In the AP2 configuration of 1221's APEX3.0 edition, the 0770 resolves the longstanding tension in custom wheel engineering between surface clarity and fitment precision. The result is a wheel that reads as a single machined piece on the car while giving your installer full freedom on back-spacing, width, and PCD.

Need a Different Size?
Every 1221 Wheels 0770 AP2 APEX3.0 is produced to order from City of Industry, CA. The two-piece construction means that diameter, width, and offset can each be adjusted independently — no retooling is required, and there is no minimum run. Send your vehicle details, wheel arch measurements, and brake system to [email protected] or reach us on WhatsApp at +44 748 881 8747 and we will confirm the exact specification with the 1221 production team 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.

Finish & Colour Options
The two-piece architecture of the 0770 AP2 APEX3.0 unlocks a finish capability that a monoblock build cannot match: the forged face and the outer barrel are separate components, which means they can receive entirely different treatments in the same order. A Brushed Gloss Clear face paired with a Solid Matte Black barrel produces a two-tone effect that is machined and assembled as a single finished unit — not a painted split. All 34 standard finishes from 1221's catalogue are available for both sections independently, and custom RAL treatments can be specified for either component. Polished stainless lip inserts are also available for owners who want a bright rim edge against a matte face.

Vehicle Fitment Guide — Performance Sport GT Builds
The 1221 Wheels 0770 AP2 APEX3.0 is specified most frequently for performance-oriented sport GT and track-registered vehicles where visual weight reduction matters as much as fitment precision. The two-piece construction allows offset to be dialled to the exact lip depth required for flush or aggressive fitment without modifying the spoke profile — a critical advantage on vehicles with tight suspension geometry.

Other Bolt Patterns — Built to Your Specification
The 0770 AP2 APEX3.0 is not a catalogue item with a fixed PCD range — every unit is drilled to your vehicle's exact bolt pattern. Standard PCDs covered include 5×112, 5×114.3, 5×120, 5×130, 5×108, and 5×100, but 4×100, 4×108, 6×139.7, and other patterns can be produced on request. Centre bore is machined to OEM specification to eliminate any spigot ring requirement. Contact [email protected] with your PCD, centre bore, and thread pitch for a production confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does AP2 mean in the 1221 X-Series?
AP2 refers to the two-piece forged configuration — a separately forged face bonded to a forged outer barrel using the 20|EX titanium fastener system. It sits between the AP1 monoblock (lightest, single piece) and the AP3/AP3LX three-piece platforms (maximum offset flexibility) in the 1221 product hierarchy.
Can I order the 0770 AP2 with a different concave depth than shown?
Yes. Because the face and barrel are separate forged components, the barrel depth — and therefore the concave depth — can be adjusted per order. Provide your desired concave measurement alongside your other fitment data when you contact us.
Are 1221 Wheels genuine or replicas?
1221 Wheels are 100% original, manufactured at the brand's own facility in City of Industry, CA. There are no replica or licensed-copy variants — every X-Series wheel is engineered, pressed, and finished by 1221 Wheels exclusively.
How does the 20|EX hardware system work on a two-piece wheel?
The 20|EX system uses 20 titanium-alloy fasteners (versus the 40 bolts used in conventional two-piece construction). The bolt count reduction is compensated by a proprietary torque-distribution pattern developed in-house by 1221 Wheels. Each fastener installs below the spoke surface in a machined recess, so the face remains visually clean from any angle.
What is the lead time for a custom 0770 AP2 order?
Approximately 3–6 weeks from order confirmation, depending on finish complexity and current production scheduling at the 1221 Wheels facility in California. Express production may be available — contact us to discuss your timeline.
Can I specify different finishes for the face and the barrel?
Yes — the two-piece construction makes independent finish selection per component a standard option. Any combination from the 34 standard finishes can be specified for the face and barrel separately, and custom RAL or two-tone treatments are available on request.

Wheel Care
The 1221 Wheels 0770 AP2 APEX3.0 is finished in a high-durability coating designed to withstand road salt, brake dust, and seasonal temperature cycling. To maintain the finish, rinse the wheel with fresh water after each drive in wet or salted conditions, and wash with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner using a soft-bristle brush — avoid alkaline degreasers and abrasive pads on Brushed Matte or Brushed Gloss finishes. For two-tone combinations, apply a non-silicone sealant to the barrel section after washing to protect the lower-clearance area from kerb debris. Store the wheels in a cool, dry environment if removed from the vehicle — stacking directly is not recommended, as face contact under load can mark the finish. Torque bolts to the specification provided with your order (typically 120–140 Nm for standard applications) and re-check torque after the first 50 km of driving following fitting.
