Overview

The APEX Wheels VS-5 from the Evolution Line represents a precision-engineered flow formed wheel designed for Toyota applications requiring 5x114.3 bolt pattern compatibility. This 17x8.5 ET23 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 flow forming process allows APEX to achieve the structural integrity required for performance driving while maintaining manufacturing efficiency that keeps costs controlled.

The VS-5 features Profile 2 face design, providing the geometry optimized for the 8.5-inch width configuration. The 60.1mm center bore specification precisely matches Toyota hub dimensions to ensure proper centering and eliminate vibration issues. The wheel incorporates 60 degree conical hardware seat design, requiring conical seat lug nuts for proper installation and load distribution. The ET23 offset positions the wheel face 23mm outward from the centerline, providing the stance and clearance characteristics suited for Toyota performance applications.

Available finish options include Hyper Black, Race Silver, Satin Bronze, and Satin Black, allowing customization to match individual preferences while maintaining the VS-5's engineered performance characteristics across all finish variants.
