With the first shipments of our Sprint™ Line wheels making their way into customers' hands, we’ve seen customer photos rolling in across social media. We love seeing these wheels in the wild and on your cars so keep them coming in!

Ashton (@ashtoncarlisle) sent in these images of his Satin Black 18x10 ET25 VS-5RS wheels wrapped in 275/35-18 NT01s mounted on his E90 M3 track car.










18x10 ET25 was an incredibly popular choice during our initial Group Buy with good reason. These wheels look right at home on this M3 and are a great front wheel option for the F8X M3/4s as well.

Though we focus on BMWs for these forum threads, we wanted to feature an APEX employee car as well. Our Market Research Manager Joe McGuigan (@joeMracing) picked up a set of our Mustang VS-5RS wheels in 18x10 ET40 wrapped with 275/35-18 Maxxis RC-1 R2 Tires for his Lexus ISF. The VS-5RS wheels are a great fit for these cars with centering rings and Joe put them to the test around Thunderhill East and West earlier this month.
















When he's not parting the VTEC seas in Turn 14, Joe drives fitment testing and development for our new products and fitments here at APEX. He’s a massive Toyota fanboy at heart and even 2 additional doors and a bit of extra heft (from the car of course!) hasn’t slowed him down that much.

If you’d like to send us photos of your Sprint™ Line wheels, feel free to email them to Experts@apexraceparts.com. If you’d like to participate in a photoshoot or test fitment, submit an application on our new volunteer form.

Lastly, we know a ton of you are eagerly waiting for 19” Sprint™Line wheels. We recently received 19” sample wheels and photoshoots are underway to support our upcoming Group Buys. Here is a sneak peek:





Keep an eye on these threads and our Social Media channels and website for more information!

We are still looking for more photoshoot volunteers for various BMW chassis. If you’d like to participate in a photoshoot or test fitment, submit an application on our new volunteer form.

We have another behind-the-scenes look at an APEX photoshoot for those of you curious about the process. This video documented an amazing build and photoshoot we did featuring the Magic Developed E46 Endurance race car on our Sprint Line VS-5RS wheels:

Any customer photos of the VS-R in 19" on the f3x/f8x platform ? I'm curious to see those as a replacement instead of the factory 763m wheels 😃

We haven't yet released our 19" wheels so no customer photos of those wheels yet! We've got several photoshoots lined up and a few complete with photos that we will share when our 19" Sprint Line Group Buy goes live in the next few weeks. I've seen some of the RAW images and can confirm that they look great though!

Our customer Grayson (@deity.46) sent in these shots of his new set of VS-5RS wheels on his F80. While staggered fitments are a common option for these cars, this 18x10 ET25 square setup looks undeniably fantastic on a set of Anthracite VS-5RS wheels.



Wheels: VS-5RS
Front & Rear: 18x10 ET25

Tires: Yokohama Advan APEX
Front & Rear: 275/40-18

With 22 days left in our ongoing 19” Group Buy, we wanted to feature a few non-M 3 and 4 series on our 19x9 ET30 VS-5RS wheels. This is the least aggressive width and offset that we are launching during this Group Buy making it an excellent OEM+ option for front M-car fitment or square fitments on non-M 3 & 4 series detailed below.

Wheels: 19x9 ET30 VS-5RS in Brushed Clear Front & Rear
Tires: 245/35-19 Michelin PS4S

The only appropriate lane for the VS-5RS in our opinion

Eugene was kind enough to help us showcase our brand new 19” Sprint Line VS-5RS wheels on his F32 440i recently. While modified M cars are often our focus, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see our new 19” wheels on such a clean 4 series. The wheels showcased are our 19x9 ET30 Profile 2 wheels front and rear. This is our most popular square fitment for the F3X chassis allowing rotation between the front and rear axles, xDrive compatibility, and a flush aesthetic without the need for spacers or alignment changes.

Specifications


Wheels & Tires:
APEX VS-5RS in Brushed Clear
Front & Rear: 19x9 ET30 with 245/35-19 Michelin PS4S

Additional Notes:

Despite our 19” Sprint Line Group Buy coming to an end, we aren’t fooling around. We have another stellar video showcasing our new Forged 19” Sprint Line wheels this time on a clean track-ready F80 owned by our friend Spencer.

Pair that with a 275 width front and 305 width rear tire and you're ready to carve up your local canyon roads or hit the track and set a new PB.

Would the VS-5RS work in a square 19x9.5 et 35 setup on an F30?. Never mind, should've just searched instead of asking first (Yes, it'll work): https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide
