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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the factory alignment specs for the Nissan 370Z?
The factory alignment specs for the Nissan 370Z are -0.67° to -1.4° negative camber up front and -1.67° to -2.16° negative camber in the rear. This vehicle features more aggressive alignment settings than most vehicles as the suspension is optimized for performance.
How much does the Nissan 370Z weigh?
The curb weight of the Nissan 370Z can vary quite a bit. The lightest models weigh in right about 3280lbs and the heaviest models weigh right about 3500lbs. This large variance is due to the fact that the 370Z was produced in many different trims, options, and special editions.
What are the widest wheels I can run on the Nissan 370Z?
The widest wheels we recommend as a direct-fit option for the Z34 Nissan 370Z would be 9.5-inch wide wheels up front and 10.5-inch wheels in the rear. With additional modification it is possible to fit wider wheels both front and rear on these vehicles.
What are the wheel specs of the Nissan 370Z?
The Nissan 370Z features a variety of factory wheel configurations. Lower trim vehicles featured 18x8" ET43 front and 18x9" ET15 rear wheels. Higher trim levels featured 19x9" ET47 and 19x10" ET30 wheels. NISMO models feature 19x9.5" ET40 front wheels and 19x10.5" ET23 rear wheels.
How big are Nissan 370Z wheels?
The Nissan 370Z features 18-inch diameter wheels on the lower trim levels. Higher trim levels and special editions such as the NISMO feature 19-inch diameter wheels. A common modification is to swap out the original equipment wheels for those typically offered on other trim levels.
How wide are Nissan 370Z wheels?
The Nissan 370Z is equipped with 8-inch wide front and 9-inch wide rear wheels on the lowest trim levels. On higher trim levels, those wheels widen to 9-inch wide front and 10-inch wide rear respectively. The NISMO 370Z models come equipped with 9.5-inch wide front and 10.5-inch wide rear wheels.
Are Nissan 370Z wheels forged?
The standard Nissan 370Z models do not feature forged wheels. The latest models of the NISMO 370Z are offered with a special forged wheel option. Apex Wheels offers a wide variety of forged wheel options for all Nissan 370Z owners. Check out our Nissan Z34 370Z configurator here!
What TPMS does the Lexus GS-F use?
The Nissan 370Z uses the HUF 40700-1LA0A TPMS sensor. While some vehicles do have TPMS sensors that are able to automatically pair to the vehicle, owners of the Nissan 370Z are recommended to have their sensors paired at their local tire shop.
What wheels will clear Akebono brakes?
For the Nissan 370Z vehicles equipped with Akebono brakes, all of the 370Z-compatible Apex Wheel fitments have been tested and verified to clear the larger Akebono brake kits without requiring additional modification.
