Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5 Forged Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET40 / 56.1mm CB - Satin Black (Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ) (VS5RS1895ET40-5100-561-NSBK)
If you're looking for the ultimate combination of lightweight performance, exceptional strength, and track-proven durability, the Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5 Forged Wheel in Satin Black delivers. Developed as part of Apex's Sprint Line, the VS-5RS is engineered specifically for enthusiasts who demand faster response, improved handling, and uncompromising reliability on both the street and the circuit. Its aggressive five-spoke design pairs perfectly with the timeless Satin Black finish, making it an ideal upgrade for Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ performance builds.
Each VS-5RS begins as a proprietary 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure before extensive CNC machining removes every unnecessary ounce of material. Advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) reinforces high-load areas while deep side-milled spokes, a strengthened Sprint spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead seats, and exceptional brake clearance create a forged wheel that performs as impressively as it looks.
