Apex VS-5RS Wheels on the Z Nismo

[sdktheway]

Picked these up during their black Friday sale as a second set of dedicated track wheels. I was getting bored driving my Subaru more regularly since it's getting cold, so I figured why not just put some all season tires on for the next few months!

Also realized this could have been posted in the wheels category instead of general but can't figure out how to delete the thread quite yet...
Secondary question, can anyone top my mileage count? I'm at about 13,500 miles now and figured I might just have the highest mileage Z Nismo or close to it

hey those look great, would also be in for a close up. Was thinking about getting these also, I want to dump the potenza's for the contis but was on the fence about the wheels. I actually quite like the stock performance Rays.

Planning on putting some Continental ECF tires on in the springtime. If y'all want any other angles feel free to let me know!

Who knew bronze would work but it does...

I knew! I’ve seen it before.

with Rosewood, it would look amazing.

The Katana in bronze too.

Looks great!!!! I think I’m gonna do the anthracite ones for my gunmetal.

your gray fairs better with the bronze. Looks excellent

Did you swap over the TPMS sensors from the OE wheels or did you get new ones? Just curious as I heard the TPMS sensors must be programmed every time as they wont self learn if you get an extra set of wheels/TPMS sensors.

I bought some aftermarket ones from here. They have been a little wonky and seems like they only want to work 75% of the time and other times they just randomly don't show up and I get a TPMS light on the dash. Not a huge deal since I check them before most drives with this anyways but I didn't have this problem with the OEM ones.

Could be a bad installation but I don't think that's the case. I'm going back to that same shop soon to get some steel brake lines installed so I'll ask about it.

If they're OEM or coded properly for the Z they self learn. I got a set of proto wheels and the sensors on them worked no problems.

Also Proto bronze looks on Passion Red

I have aftermarket sensors on my track car and same issue. Sometimes they learn right away, sometimes it takes 10min of driving and sometimes nothing at all.. I guess OEM is the way to go.
