Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5 Forged Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET40 / 56.1mm CB - Anthracite (Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ) (VS5RS1895ET40-5100-561-AN)
Engineered for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance, the Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5 Forged Wheel delivers exceptional strength, lightweight construction, and race-proven durability for the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ platform. Finished in a sleek Anthracite coating, this Sprint Line wheel reduces unsprung weight while improving steering response, acceleration, braking performance, and overall handling without sacrificing durability.
Manufactured from proprietary 6061-T6 forged aluminum using an immense 10,000 metric ton forging process, every VS-5RS is precision CNC machined to remove unnecessary material while reinforcing high-stress areas. The result is an incredibly lightweight wheel featuring deep side-milled spokes, a stronger Sprint spec inner lip, massive brake clearance, and independently verified strength that exceeds standard JWL testing requirements.

FAQs
Why choose the VS-5RS over a flow formed wheel?
The VS-5RS utilizes forged 6061-T6 aluminum construction, proprietary Sprint engineering, deep side-milled spokes, and reinforced impact zones to provide greater strength while significantly reducing weight compared to traditional flow formed wheels.
Can I reuse my factory TPMS sensors?
Yes. The VS-5RS is fully compatible with OEM and most aftermarket TPMS sensors, allowing for a straightforward installation while retaining tire pressure monitoring functionality.
