Apex VS-5RS 18x9 Forged Wheel 5x100 BP ET42 56.1mm CB Motorsport Gold (Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ) - VS5RS189ET42-5100-561-MGD
Engineered for drivers who demand the ultimate combination of lightweight performance and uncompromising strength, the Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup. As part of the Sprint Line of forged wheels, the VS-5RS utilizes advanced engineering and premium forged construction to reduce rotational mass while maximizing durability. Whether you're attacking apexes at the road course or carving your favorite back roads, this wheel delivers quicker acceleration, sharper steering response, improved braking, and confidence-inspiring performance.
Each VS-5RS starts as a proprietary 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank before being precision CNC machined and optimized through extensive Finite Element Analysis. Deep side-milled spokes remove unnecessary material while maintaining exceptional rigidity, and the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip increases impact resistance. Combined with vehicle-specific spoke profiles, exceptional brake clearance, paintless knurled bead seats, and hub-centric construction, the VS-5RS is purpose-built for enthusiasts who refuse to compromise.
