APEX Wheels VS-5 Flow Formed Wheel | 17×9.5 ET40 | 5×100

Description

The APEX Wheels VS-5 from the Evolution Line represents a precision-engineered flow formed wheel designed for applications requiring 5×100 bolt pattern compatibility. This 17×9.5 ET40 wheel addresses the demands of performance applications through APEX’s flow formed construction process, which combines casting efficiency with enhanced strength characteristics to deliver optimal performance for track and street use.

The wheel utilizes flow formed construction, a manufacturing process that begins with a cast wheel blank before applying specialized forming techniques. During flow forming, the wheel barrel is spun at high speed while rollers apply controlled pressure, stretching and compressing the aluminum to create a denser grain structure. This process increases the material strength while reducing weight compared to traditional cast wheels, positioning flow formed construction between cast and forged methods in terms of both performance and cost.

The VS-5 features Profile 2 face design, providing the geometry suited for the 9.5-inch width configuration. The 56.1mm center bore specification provides proper hub-centric fitment for applications including the primary 86/BRZ platform. The wheel incorporates 60-degree conical hardware seat geometry for proper lug nut interface and secure mounting.

APEX offers the VS-5 in multiple finish options including Hyper Black, Race Silver, and Satin Bronze, allowing selection based on aesthetic preference and vehicle color coordination. The Evolution Line designation places this wheel within APEX’s performance-focused lineup designed for track and street applications.
