Overview
Lexus RC F Wheel Performance
While the Lexus RC F is a great blend between luxury and performance, for those looking to get as much performance as possible the stock RC F wheel setup leaves a lot to be desired. Namely the stock wheels are heavy and narrow, limiting handling performance. With our wide line up of Lexus compatible wheels such as our flow formed EC-7 and SM-10 or our forged SM-10RS and VS-5RS, we have a solution for anyone looking to maximize handling performance and shed unsprung weight from their Lexus RC F. Check out our Lexus RC F Fitment Guide to find the perfect setup for your Lexus RC F.
History of the RCF
With the Lexus F line becoming a known entity, Lexus made a shift for its new luxury coupe. Enter the Lexus RC F. Embodying the same principles that the F line was known for–the RC F was a statement of luxury performance. A chameleon to the untrained eye, the new 470 horsepower luxury coupe was a performance machine. Like its sedan-based cousin, the RC F was a real contender for the likes of the M and AMG cars.
A visceral driving experience clad in a fancy suit, the RC F is as much of a great driver as it is a looker. Most changes for the RC F throughout the years have been minor. The exception is the Fuji Speedway edition, which takes the performance of the RC F and cranks it up even further. Adding in a unique aero package and carbon-ceramic brakes amongst other changes, the Fuji Speedway edition is for enthusiasts who want the sharpest factory RC F possible.

Why We Like This Car
The Lexus RC F is a true four-seater coupe in an era where most rear seats are a suggestion at best. On top of that, it’s still a premium luxury experience with a fire breathing V8 under the hood. The list of sports coupes with nearly 500 horsepower and room for the family is a very very short one.
Whether you’re looking for an OEM+ option or looking to get into a Hardcore Track fitment, our wide selection of RC RCF XC10 Wheels has got you covered.
VS-5RS Specifications
Reproductive Harm - www.p65warnings.ca.cov VS-5RS features
10K Tons of Pressure
Our new forgings weigh as much as 120 pounds before machining. To form such a thick blank we require special equipment capable of 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminum by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure.
True Motorsport Blanks
Many companies use 3rd-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. We designed our very own blank profiles from scratch to give us total control over the final product.
Side-Milled Spokes
To be as light as possible the VS-5RS features extra-deep, side-milled spokes. Any excess material that doesn’t add strength is machined out using a precision CNC ball cutter. Side-milling is often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, but for true performance without compromise we believe it's essential.
A Stronger Lightweight Wheel
Our forged Sprint™ wheels are lightweight without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels. First, we machined out as much material as possible, then we purposefully added one pound back to reinforce critical areas, creating a stronger inner lip and a higher load rating.² What’s the point of a lightweight wheel if it’s fragile?

Weight Optimized
We conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and to remove material where it didn’t improve strength. The result is a wheel that is exceptionally light without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels.²

Independently Tested
We don't rely solely on computer simulations or unverifiable in-house testing. We believe independent testing is critical to protect consumers in this unregulated industry. We chose STL, an independent lab in Ohio, to test our Sprint™ wheels far above JWL standards, including increases in testing duration, impact drop height, and total load.
Tougher Inner Lip
Introducing the Sprint™ spec inner lip, with a unique channel profile that makes it even stronger than our previous designs. So even though our Sprint™ wheels are pounds lighter than comparable flow formed wheels, the inner lip is stronger.

Big Brake Clearance
From day one, Apex has been on a mission to build wheels that clear big brakes. Our new forged wheels are the product of everything we’ve developed over the past 10+ years, including an innovative high-clearance barrel design and vehicle-specific spoke profiles.
Deeper Concavity
Our new forgings were redesigned to create extra deep, concave spoke profiles. Their new shape allows us to make any profile, from flat to deep and everything in between. Each one is optimized for a specific application using 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket brake kits.
Paintless Knurled Bead
Whether it's a day at the track or months of street driving, repeated hard braking and acceleration can make a tire slip along the bead seat and go out of balance, causing vibration. Knurled beads help, but are less effective when painted over. Our forged line features unpainted knurled beads that stay sharp and maximize grip.
Built for Impact Sockets
Track wheels need track tools. Don’t settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All Apex wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast.

Laser-Engraved Specs
As track enthusiasts ourselves, we know how frustrating it is to try to locate and decipher wheel specs that have been hastily hammered into the rim or become unreadable over time. With our new Sprint™ wheels, we chose to invest a little extra and laser-engrave the specs on the barrel, in plain sight, making them easy to find and read. (You’re welcome.)
Additional features
Hub Centric
All VS-5RS wheels are purpose built for select vehicle applications. Very few applications require centering rings.
Center Caps
The majority of VS-5RS wheels come with a gloss black Apex cap which is interchangeable with most OE center caps*.
* Centerlock wheels do not include Apex center caps. Certain unique fitments support an Apex center cap that is not interchangeable with the OE cap. See your vehicle-specific product page for additional details.
Wheel Hardware
Wherever possible, Apex wheels are designed to be used with OEM mounting hardware* as well as high-quality wheel spacers, stud conversion kits, wheel locks, and more. See our Accessories pages.
*A small number of applications are not compatible with the vehicle's OEM hardware. Visit individual product pages to confirm hardware type/compatibility.
TPMS
All Apex wheels accept OEM and aftermarket Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors and standard fit valve stems. If you don’t have sensors, then select from our metal stems available in multiple finishes.
