Apex VS-5RS Wheels
#16
My winter wheels are a dark bronze and I definitely prefer how the car looks with non-black wheels. The next set for the 911 will definitely not be black, although it is a great color to hide brake dust.
FWIW I have/had TE37s in white on my RX-7 and loved how it looked.... but it was a bit out there depending on my mood. I think many wheels with great designs are done a disservice with certain flat black finishes.

The VS-5RS look so similar to these stock wheels to me. I would probably get the Apex wheels for a track wheel, so I could have something similar to the factory style but not trash my original wheels. Just style wise, if I wanted something fresh and different than stock, I’d want something visually more distinguishable from the stock wheel. Considering that, maybe the EC-7RS makes more sense. It’ll be nice to see those in 20” when they offer them, in race gold they will look a lot like the magnesium wheels on the GT2-RS.

I really like these wheels. Good looking, forged, and a good price.

As for the VS-5RS, this is the video that convinced me when it comes to their design. The gray looks good to me, but the bright silver is gorgeous.

They do make them in wide body 5 lug fitment though. https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide

^ That looks great. I rarely like yellow cars, with some exceptions like the original Ruf CTR and a few others…and the Carrera T is one of the others. There are a number of them here on RL that speak to me on a regular basis. There's something about the "surface forward" nature of bright, uni colors, and the 991.2 wears them really well. Just look at your rear flares in the pic above, and the way the bright yellow highlights the side DLO.

Agreed. The brushed clear finish really pops for me. Wondering, if I do order these, if I’d retain the 7mm spacers that I currently run with, provided by Litchfield Motors... 🤔
