The 18x9" ET42 VS-5RS Preorder Sale has been officially extended!

With the first production run of our new 18x9" ET42 VS-5RS VW/Audi wheels expected to arrive at our warehouse around late July/early August, we have decided to extend the 10% preorder discount until the end of the month. So far, we have gotten quite a few preorders locked-in over the 4th of July Holiday, so you will need to act fast to ensure you get your preferred finish selection before they sell out!

As always, if anyone has any fitment or technical questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!

The brushed silver is gorgeous. Plenty of space for a nice spoke brush, I had mine ceramic coared prior to install (not the tire mounting surface), and it's made keeping them clean an easy task.

Same, ceramic coating and the brushed finish is very easy to maintain.

Too pretty to put on the car. Just make glass coffee tables out of them

Still interested in 17's if anyone is looking to move up to 18s

Got my 18x9 ET42 VS-5RS wheels in the mail yesterday! Amazing how light these feel.

Hey guys,

Glad to see the 18" VS-5RS are getting out to ya'll already! First person to send us 5 decent on-car pictures gets a special care package! You can send them to my direct email via geirsen@apexraceparts.com if interested.

On the 17" side of things, we just got Easthood Racing sorted with a set of 17x9" ET42 VS-5RS for their 2023 season. I figured it would be worth sharing some recent pictures of what is likely one of the fastest MK7 GTIs running around on our VS-5RS wheels! Enjoy!

Was holding out for a sale for a while but I needed tires bad after a blowout on a road trip to San Diego… Down from 19”
Pretorias on stock Continentals to these in 17x9 with 245/45 PS4S. This is a really high quality aftermarket wheel and well worth the premium.

Anybody took pics of their 18s mounted yet?

+1 I am also interested in seeing any pics that y'all have! We have been selling a ton of the new 18x9" ET42 VS-5RS since they first hit our warehouse, so I know there has to be quite a few cars with them mounted at this point. Lets see em'!

Will it fit the 4-pot 370mm Mk2 TTRS brakes?

Anyone able to test this brake setup on the 18’s?

 

[APEXWheels]

Here are some pics of the new 18x9" ET42 VS-5RS in Satin Black mounted on a Golf R for your viewing pleasure!

Tires are 245/40-18 Bridgestone Potenza Sports and the only mods on the car are Fender Screw and EMD lowering springs. Enjoy!

Hey Geirsen on the updated website I don't see the section for BBK clearance any more. Would you be able to test the Neuspeed BBK template with the wheels?
