I bought my 18x11 VS-5RS setup just a couple days ago and these guys already shipped!

With the discount and free shipping, it's basically $550 off, which is almost enough to buy a pair of 888r's

The F14s and the Apex EC7 are the two wheels I'm torn between tight now. I'll probably end up going with Apex as I think they are of better quality. I wish the forged Apex offerings would be in the budget.

Personal opinion- forged all the way. Lighter and stronger.

F14s are hard to clean imo, and I'm not a huge fan of black wheels

That said, photo cred goes to @Maximum95 - here's my car on F14s, soon to be for sale if you're interested in used wheels 😉

Apex Wheels Black Friday sale is still going strong this week with huge savings available on every wheel we make. Our most popular wheel, the forged VS-5RS is moving fast but we still have inventory available in many sizes and finishes for your car.

What makes the VS-5RS so special?

- 10K Ton Forged 6061-T6 Aluminum
- Side-Milled Spokes for Reduced Weight
- Stronger Sprint™ Spec Inner Lip
- Massive Brake Clearance
- Paintless Knurled Beads
- Unmatched Replacement Program
- Lifetime Structural Warranty
- Independently Tested and Certified







This sale will be ongoing through December 2nd, but our most popular fitments will sell out early. Don’t settle for less, pick up a set today for a wheel you can depend on.
Free Shipping* on ALL orders over $40 with Apex Wheels and Apex Hardware (contiguous US)

I haven't had the time to take *actual* photos yet, but the wheels arrived today! I was in the middle of cleaning up my garage when the UPS guy dropped them off. He knew exactly what they were and which car they were for

Not a professional pic by any means, just iPhone

295/30's RT660 up front
315/30 R888r in the rear

I have more clearance for wheel weights against the brakes up front than I did with the F14s. I added about 4lbs with the new set vs old, but I also have like 6" more contact patch- so worth while trade off

Those look amazing on your Z06. You should post that in the Z06 picture thread.
