20” Apex VS-5RS photos

Just got to 1500 miles today on my ‘23 and along with an oil change and diff fluid change, I installed my new 20” Apex VS-5RS wheels. When I purchased these wheels there weren’t many photos I could find out there so I thought I would post for others who might be considering these. Here is what I have

20x11.5 rear with Michelin PS4 315/30 20
20x10.5 front with Michelin PS4 295/30 20
Ceramic coated
5mm spacers and extended studs in front

Kept the Apex center caps for now but I think the OEM ones will fit.

The wheel widths are 1/2’ wider than stock ZL1 and 1/2” narrower than stock ZLE. The tires are 10mm wider than stock ZL1 and 10mm narrower than stock ZLE. The 5mm spacers I had from another mod project and put them on prior to changing wheels. The stock ZL1 wheels just don’t fill the wider front fenders like they should.

There are a number of photos in different lighting conditions. Hopefully this helps those looking to upgrade their wheels.

Of course this being Phoenix, AZ I already picked up another nail in the original set. Should be repairable.

Many of you already know that the PS4’s ride much smoother than the Goodyears. I know I’m sold on them for an everyday street tire.

Those look fantastic! Great upgrade! I am a sucker for the SM-10's but R5S's look great to!

Thanks! I’ve been a sucker for SM-10’s myself. Great looking wheels as well. Wanted to keep the 20’s on this car.

They look fantastic, good choice!
