Our lightest wheels are back for another Group Buy.









The Design

VS-5RS





Our lightest design ever returns, this time in a 17” diameter. We focused on widths and offsets optimized for a variety of popular E46 and E36 track and race car applications for this Group Buy. Compared to our flow-formed lines, wheel weights have been reduced and load ratings increased while the 17” diameter means more affordable tire costs for your average HPDE participant.

Built to a SPEC:



This 17” deal includes our 17x9 ET42 VS-5RS, a wheel optimized specifically for the rigors of SPEC E46 racing. APEX is no stranger to the E46 platform and spec E46 competition. This wheel was built for the series with a weight per wheel in our lightest Brushed Clear finish of 16.2 lbs, the minimum weight allowed by SPEC E46. We could have made these wheels even lighter but we re-invested the extra material into places racers will appreciate. More robust inner lips and a higher load rating than the JWL minimums prevent bent wheels and keep you on track. Paintless knurled bead seats grip the series mandated 255/40-17 Nitto RRs and keep wheel/tire sets balanced.

Our ARC-8s in the same fitment have served us and a huge number of SPEC E46 racers well for years on the track, but these new VS-5RS wheels improve on them in every way. Over 1.5 lbs lighter and stronger than the ARC-8s with fully forged construction, the new VS-5RS is ready to become the APEX standard for SPEC E46 competitors everywhere.
