Installed 20” Apex VS-5RS Pics *Updated

CW3SF · 01-25-2023, 06:46 AM

I did the Gangup group buy last summer on the VS-5RS in 20” fitment. Delivered as promised by Apex the first week of January. Just got my mobile tire out for the install.

Wheels are machined finish with clear coat in 20X10.5 ET15 fronts and 20X11.5 ET42 rear. OEM sizes for Michelin PS4s. Here’s a few pics.

Wow. Perfect offset and width. Those look amazing!
I think I found my wheel now that I've seen it on your car. I'd go 295/315 on mine probably, just based on personal preference of tire look. Anyway, looks amazing. I like the color contrast, too.

Thanks, I’m really impressed with Apex. It’s a really nice wheel and I agree the offset is spot on.

Those wheels look great against the blue color of your car.

My biggest complaint with the OEM wheels besides being a bitch to clean is that they don’t provide enough contrast with darker colors.

It’s the primary reason I went with HRE wheels in their liquid metal finish on my MBM ZL1.

Damn hawk your car is gorgeous, love those HREs. What size and offset etc? I agree in regards to black cars, I'm currently looking for a summer setup that provides some contrast.

And to the OP - great setup as well. Those wheels suit your car really well!

I've been waiting for them to offer these in a bronze finish. Think that would look amazing. Those look great on your car!

SSEssence · 01-25-2023, 08:15 AM

Damn those wheels look killer! Hope Apex keeps rolling out with more 20" options!

CW3SF · 01-25-2023, 08:31 AM

Thanks to all for the props!

Yeah for real LOL. Just bought the house and moved in. Finish mudding and painting both garages is high on my list of things to do.

Love those Apex VS-5RS wheels my brutha!

I need to know when the next GANGUP group buy is so I can snatch them up in 19 inch ZLE specs.

Thanks. The group I was in had good participation and got $500 off the set.

When I had my ZL1 1LE, I was eyeballing those wheels pretty hard. I think they're very complimentary to the lines of the 6th gen Camaro and really only a runner up to the SS 1LE wheels, to me. Congrats on the purchase.

Beautiful!

Mine came in not too long ago, they ended up not producing the satin bronze in 20 inch so I'm having mine powder coated.
