Overview

The APEX Wheels VS-5 from the Evolution Line represents a precision-engineered flow formed wheel designed for JDM applications requiring 5x114.3 bolt pattern compatibility. This 17x9 ET35 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 VS-5 achieves a weight of 19.3 lbs in the 17x9 configuration, providing 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.

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-inch width configuration. The 73.1mm center bore specification provides precise hub centering for the target JDM applications. The 60 degree conical hardware seat ensures proper lug nut engagement and wheel mounting security.

This wheel serves JDM enthusiasts seeking flow formed construction benefits with proven 5x114.3 fitment compatibility.
