Apex VS-5RS Forged Wheel - 18x8.5 ET40 - 5x120 - Brushed Clear

Product Details

The Apex VS-5RS in 18x8.5" ET40 Brushed Clear is a forged wheel that's hub-centric on most 5x120 BMWs, including the E36, E46, E9x, F3x and F8x. It's Apex's five-spoke design in forged form, and one of the rare wheels that looks right on nearly any BMW, old or new. Forged from 6061-T6 aluminum on a 10,000-ton press, it's light where it can be and strong where it counts.

Turner's take: The VS-5 made better: thinner spokes and a sharper, sportier look that suits almost any BMW.

Specifications

Good to Know

Will it fit my BMW?
It matches the 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.56mm hub, so no hub rings are needed. Our vehicle fitment list confirms bolt pattern and hub only, not front or rear placement. Most BMWs use different widths and offsets front and rear, and some models also change diameter or center bore between axles. Offsets outside the usual range can sometimes work with wheel spacers and longer lug bolts. Big Brake Kits (BBK) and widebody setups also affect clearance, so confirm front and rear fitment for your car before ordering.

What lug bolts does it use?
60° conical-seat lug bolts. BMW factory bolts are ball seat and can't be reused.

Does it come with a center cap?
Most sizes come with an Apex gloss black center cap, and BMW OEM caps also fit.

Is this one wheel or a set?
Price is per wheel. Check your front and rear sizes first, or choose one of our matched Apex wheel sets.
