Apex VS-5RS 18x9 Forged Wheel 5x100 BP ET42 56.1mm CB Brushed Clear (Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ) - VS5RS189ET42-5100-561-BC
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ enthusiasts who refuse to compromise between lightweight performance and long-term durability. As the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup, the VS-5RS is part of the Sprint Line of forged wheels, utilizing advanced engineering and premium forged construction to reduce rotational mass while maintaining exceptional strength. From weekend canyon runs to competitive track days, the VS-5RS delivers faster steering response, improved acceleration, stronger braking performance, and confidence through every corner.
Each wheel begins as a proprietary 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank before undergoing extensive CNC machining and Finite Element Analysis optimization. Deep side-milled spokes remove unnecessary weight while preserving rigidity, and the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip increases durability in high-load situations. Combined with vehicle-specific spoke profiles, exceptional brake clearance, paintless knurled bead seats, and hub-centric construction, the VS-5RS is purpose-built for serious enthusiasts who demand the best.
