Apex VS-5RS 17x9 Forged Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET48 / 56.1mm CB - Anthracite (Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ) - VS5RS179ET48-5100-561-AN
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever produced, delivering race-inspired performance without compromising strength. Designed as part of the Sprint Line, this 17x9 forged wheel provides exceptional responsiveness, impressive durability, and outstanding brake clearance for Toyota GR86, Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ, and track-focused builds. Finished in Anthracite, it combines understated styling with uncompromising motorsport engineering.
Each VS-5RS starts life as a proprietary 6061-T6 aluminum forging compressed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure. Deep side-milled spokes, extensive FEA optimization, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip allow Apex to create an incredibly lightweight wheel that remains strong enough for demanding street and track use. Independent testing beyond JWL standards and paintless knurled bead seats further reinforce its motorsport pedigree.
