Overview

The APEX Wheels VS-5 from the Evolution Line represents a precision-engineered flow formed wheel designed for applications requiring 5x100 bolt pattern compatibility. This 17x8.5 ET44 wheel addresses the demands of compact performance vehicles like the 86/BRZ platform 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 VS-5 achieves a weight of 17.7 lbs in the 17x8.5 configuration, providing significant unsprung weight reduction compared to factory wheels while maintaining the structural integrity required for performance driving. This weight control becomes critical in performance applications, where reduced unsprung mass directly improves handling dynamics, acceleration response, and braking performance on vehicles utilizing the 5x100 bolt pattern.

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 1 face design, providing the geometry suited for the 8.5-inch width configuration. The 56.1mm center bore specification ensures proper hub-centric fitment for targeted applications, while the 60 degree conical hardware seat accommodates standard lug nuts. The ET44 offset positions the wheel appropriately for the intended vehicle applications, maintaining proper suspension geometry and clearances.
