Apex VS-5RS 18x9 Forged Wheel 5x100 BP ET42 56.1mm CB Satin Black (Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ) - VS5RS189ET42-5100-561-NSBK
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance on both the street and the track. As the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup, the VS-5RS is part of the innovative Sprint Line of forged wheels, combining advanced engineering with premium forged construction to minimize rotational weight while delivering exceptional strength. The result is quicker acceleration, sharper steering response, improved braking, and the confidence to push harder every lap.
Each VS-5RS begins as a proprietary 10K ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank before undergoing precision CNC machining and extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization. Deep side-milled spokes remove every ounce of unnecessary material while maintaining structural rigidity, and the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip increases durability where it matters most. With massive brake clearance, vehicle-specific spoke profiles, paintless knurled bead seats, laser-engraved specifications, and hub-centric construction, this forged wheel is built to meet the demands of serious performance driving.
