Apex VS-5RS 18x9 Forged Wheel 5x100 BP ET42 56.1mm CB Anthracite (Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ) - VS5RS189ET42-5100-561-AN
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for drivers who demand every possible performance advantage from their Toyota 86 or Subaru BRZ. As the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup, the VS-5RS is part of the Sprint Line of forged wheels, combining innovative engineering with premium forged construction to minimize rotational weight while maintaining exceptional strength. Whether you're shaving tenths off your lap times or enjoying spirited backroad driving, this wheel delivers sharper steering response, improved acceleration, stronger braking performance, and confidence you can feel behind the wheel.
Each VS-5RS starts as a proprietary 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank before undergoing extensive CNC machining and Finite Element Analysis optimization. Deep side-milled spokes reduce unnecessary weight while preserving structural integrity, and the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip increases durability against impacts. Combined with vehicle-specific spoke profiles, massive brake clearance, paintless knurled bead seats, and hub-centric construction, the VS-5RS is built to perform at the highest level on both the street and the track.
