Description
The APEX Wheels VS-5 from the Evolution Line represents a precision-engineered flow formed wheel designed for JDM applications requiring 5×114.3 bolt pattern compatibility. This 18×10.5 ET22 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 3 face design, providing the deep concave geometry suited for the 10.5-inch width configuration. The 73.1mm center bore specification provides precise hub-centric fitment for compatible JDM applications. The wheel incorporates 60 degree conical hardware seat design, which ensures proper wheel-to-hub contact and allows for secure mounting with conical lug nuts or bolts.
APEX offers the VS-5 in multiple finish options including Anthracite, Hyper Black, Race Silver, Satin Bronze, and Satin Black, allowing customization to match specific vehicle aesthetics while maintaining the same flow formed construction and Profile 3 face geometry across all finish variants.
