5-Spoke Wheels
The 5-spoke is the foundational wheel design, and for good reason: five clean spokes balance strength, weight, and a sightline straight through to the brakes. This page is for anyone who wants a versatile, timeless look that works on everything from track builds to daily drivers.
What to know
Five-spoke wheels come in two broad personalities. A thin, split or tapered spoke reads aggressive and motorsport-inspired, while a wide, flat spoke looks substantial and modern. The open face also shows off big-brake kits and painted calipers better than a busy multi-spoke design, so this is the style to choose if you want your stopping hardware seen.
Concavity and lip depth change everything about how a 5-spoke sits. The same design in a low-offset, deep-concave form fills a fender far more aggressively than a flat-faced version. Always confirm the wheel clears your caliper and that the offset matches your fenders before committing.
How to choose
Start with the numbers that determine whether a wheel physically bolts on: bolt pattern, center bore, and overall size including offset. From there, pick the spoke profile that matches your intent. Performance builds favor lightweight, often forged 5-spokes; show and street builds lean toward wider faces and deeper lips. Decide on finish early too, since gloss black, bronze, and brushed faces each pull the eye to different parts of the design.

Frequently asked questions
Are 5-spoke wheels stronger than other designs? Spoke count matters less than construction and material. A well-engineered forged 5-spoke can be lighter and stronger than a heavier multi-spoke cast wheel, but always check the manufacturer's load rating against your vehicle's weight.
Will a 5-spoke clear my big brake kit? Often yes, since the open face helps, but never assume. Verify caliper clearance against the wheel's published specs or use a spacer only when the manufacturer confirms it's safe.
What finish hides brake dust best? Darker finishes like gloss or matte black disguise dust far better than silver or polished faces, which is worth considering on a daily driver.

Five spokes is the wheel shape everyone pictures: the Torq Thrust on a muscle car, a skinny drag mag, a JDM track wheel. Below we break down every design we carry, which ones suit cars versus trucks, and how to pick sizes and finishes. Find a design you like, then run your exact car or truck through the fitment search before you order.
Popular designs, side by side
Race Star 92 Drag Star
This is the old-school drag 5-spoke, the one you see on street-and-strip muscle cars. It comes as skinny fronts (17x4.5, 18x5) and wide rears (15x10, 17x10, 17x10.5), plus street sizes like 17x7, 17x9.5 and 18x8.5, in black, bronze or polish. It's the only drag design here offered in bronze and polish. The skinny fronts are a drag setup, not something you want for daily cornering.
ESR Wheels APX5C
A clean modern 5-spoke for sport sedans and coupes. It comes in 18x8.5, 18x9.5, 19x8.5 and 19x9.5, in chrome, gloss white, hyper silver or matte black. It has the most finish choices of the ESR 5-spokes and the most street-friendly widths. It tops out at 9.5 wide, so if you want a fat rear, look at the CR5 or APX5.
Vision American-Muscle 142 Legend
A muscle-car 5-spoke that scales from 17x7 up to 22x9.5. It's offered in 6x135 and 6x139.7 as well as 5-lug patterns like 5x127, so it works for trucks and SUVs as well as cars. Pick chrome, gloss black with a machined lip, or gunmetal with a machined lip. The widest size is 9.5, so it won't give a deep, wide rear stance.
ESR Wheels CR SERIES CR5
The aggressive one. It comes only in wide sizes (18x9.5, 18x10.5, 19x11), in gloss black, gloss white or matte bronze, for tuner cars running flush or staggered fitment. It's wider across the board than the APX5C and has more finishes than the APX5. A 19x11 needs real fender room, so confirm offset in the fitment search first.
WELD Performance Ventura Drag
WELD's drag 5-spoke, with skinnies in 17x5, 18x5 and 20x5 and rears from 15x10 up to 18x12. Every one is gloss black with a milled diamond-cut lip, so the lip flashes bright against a dark face. It has a broader size spread than the Race Star Drag Star, including a 20-inch skinny. The catch is one finish only. If you want chrome or bronze, this isn't it.
WELD Performance Ventura
The street version of the Ventura: same gloss black face and milled diamond-cut lip, in street widths from 18x8 to 20x11, plus 17x11, 19x9, 19x9.5 and 22x8.5. It suits muscle cars and big sedans that want the drag look without skinny fronts. Like the rest of the WELD Performance line, black is the only option.
American Racing AR105 TORQ THRUST M
A modern take on the Torq Thrust, with the classic tapered five spokes in anthracite or gloss black with a machined lip. Sizes run 16x7 through 18x9, which fits classic and late-model cars that want period style with modern widths. It's the darker alternative to the chrome AR605. It stops at 18 inches, so look elsewhere if you want 20s.
Vision American-Muscle 141H
A small-diameter classic 5-spoke in 15x7, 15x8, 17x8 and 17x9. It's offered in 5x139.7 and 6x139.7, so older trucks get a real 15-inch option alongside the car patterns. Finishes are chrome or gunmetal with a machined lip. A 15-inch wheel won't clear big modern brakes, so check caliper clearance.
Foose 1PC F105 LEGEND
A chrome-plated Legend 5-spoke from 17x7 up to 20x10. It's built for muscle cars and hot rods that want a bright show finish, and it can run staggered with 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear. It's the chrome twin of the F104. Chrome looks best clean, so plan on regular washing.
Enkei TS-5
A JDM track-style 5-spoke in 17x8, 17x9, 18x8, 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. It covers 5x100 through 5x120 and comes in five finishes: black, bronze, gloss black, matte bronze and storm grey. It's the go-to for import sport compacts and sedans that want a light, simple look. It doesn't come in 19 or 20.
ESR Wheels APX5
The widest, simplest ESR 5-spoke: 18x10.5 or 19x11, matte bronze only. It's aimed at staggered rears and square wide setups on tuner cars. 5x114.3 isn't one of its listed patterns, so check the fitment search before you fall for it.
American Racing AR605 TORQ THRUST M
The chrome Torq Thrust M, in sizes from 16x7 to 18x10. It's the classic hot rod look with a little more shine, and the 18x10 gives it a wider rear option than the AR105. Chrome shows brake dust and water spots more than the darker AR105.
WELD Performance Ventura Beadlock
A drag wheel with a beadlock that clamps the tire so it won't slip under hard launches. It comes in rear-friendly widths (15x10, 15x12, 17x10, 17x11, 18x10.5, 18x12, 20x10.5) in gloss black with a milled diamond-cut lip. This is the most race-focused design on the page. If your car never sees a strip, the plain Ventura is less fuss.
WELD Street Performance Ventura
The big-diameter street Ventura in gloss silver machined: bright spokes with a machined finish. Sizes are 20x8, 20x9, 20x10.5, 22x8.5 and 22x10.5. It's the brighter, larger alternative to the black WELD Performance Venturas. There's no 18 or 19, so it only works if you're going big.
Ridler Type 695
A classic 5-spoke from 17x7 up to 22x10.5, in chrome or matte black with a machined lip. It covers muscle cars and 5x127 trucks that want a 22-inch look. It offers both a full-chrome and a dark option at the 22-inch size. Big 22s mean thin sidewalls, so expect a firmer ride.
Foose 1PC F104 LEGEND
The darker Foose Legend, in gloss black milled, sizes 18x8 through 20x10. It's a fit for muscle cars and restomods that want the Legend shape without chrome. It shares patterns and staggered 20x8.5/20x10 sizing with the F105, so it's purely a finish choice. Starts at 18, so no 17-inch option here.

What counts as a 5-spoke wheel
A 5-spoke wheel has five single spokes running from the center to the barrel. That's the whole definition. If each spoke is doubled into a pair, you're looking at twin 5-spoke designs. If a spoke forks into a Y partway out, it belongs with split-spoke styles. Every design on this page is a straight, single five. If you want a busier face, browse wheels with more spokes.
Why run five spokes
Five big openings put your calipers and rotors on display. Fewer edges means less to scrub on wash day, with one brush pass per window. And the shape crosses over: the same basic layout covers a drag mag, a track wheel and a 22-inch street wheel. Few other designs look right on that many builds.
Classic 5-spokes: Torq Thrust, Drag Star and Legend
The Torq Thrust is the shape hot rodders know on sight. The AR105 Torq Thrust M goes dark with anthracite or gloss black and a machined lip. The chrome AR605 Torq Thrust M is the bright version. For the vintage look in a big size, there's the polished Torq Thrust II in 20x9.5 +6.
Drag-style 5-spokes come from Race Star and WELD. The Race Star 92 Drag Star is the old-school pick, and Race Star's 91 Drag Star covers 4x108. WELD's Ventura family splits into Ventura Drag (skinnies and wide rears), Ventura Beadlock (for hard launches) and the street Ventura. All three share a gloss black face with a milled diamond-cut lip. WELD Street Performance's Ventura is the silver machined take in 20 and 22 inches.
The Legend designs lean muscle car: Vision's 142 Legend, Foose's chrome F105 and the gloss black milled F104. Ridler adds the Type 695 and Type 605. The Type 605 with machined spokes and lip has a raw-metal look that catches light. More old-school picks live under classic and muscle-car wheels.
JDM 5 spoke wheels and modern street designs
Enkei covers the JDM track look with the TS-5 and PF05. The TS-5 comes in 17 and 18 inches in five finishes. The PF05 in 18x9.5 +38 dark silver is a clean pick for a square setup. Motegi's MR131 (for example, 18x9 +35 in satin black) and Aodhan's DS05 in silver with a machined face sit in the same street-tuner lane.
ESR has the most variety. The CR5 and APX5 are wide-only. The APX5C keeps widths sane at 8.5 and 9.5. The AP5 and CS5 add hyper silver choices like the CS5 18x10.5 +22. For the broader import scene, see JDM-style wheels.

| ESR APX5 | 18, 19 | 10.5 to 11 | Matte Bronze | Wide staggered |
Quick rule: drag car, go Race Star or WELD. Hot rod or muscle car, go Torq Thrust or Legend. Import that sees corners, go Enkei or ESR.
Finishes
Chrome 5 spoke wheels
Chrome comes on the Vision 142 Legend and 141H, Foose F105, AR605, Ridler Type 695 and ESR APX5C. It's the classic show finish, and it rewards regular washing. See all chrome wheel options if shine is the priority.
5 spoke black wheels
Black is the easy daily choice. Gloss black with a milled or machined lip (WELD, Foose F104, Vision 142, AR105) gives you a bright ring around a dark face. Matte black comes on the APX5C and the Ridler 695.
5 spoke white wheels
Gloss white is on the ESR CR5 and APX5C. It pops on dark cars and looks very track-day. Check out the CR5 18x10.5 +30 in gloss white.
5 spoke bronze wheels
Bronze is on the Race Star Drag Star, Enkei TS-5 (bronze or matte bronze), ESR CR5 and ESR APX5. On a white or blue car it's hard to beat.
Polished
Polish is a Race Star Drag Star option, and the vintage Torq Thrust II comes polished too. It's bare-metal bright and needs the most care.
5 spoke 20 inch wheels
If you want 20s, your choices are the Vision 142 Legend, WELD Ventura, WELD Street Performance Ventura, Ridler Type 695 and both Foose Legends. Vision, WELD and Ridler also go to 22. WELD makes a 20x5 skinny and a 20x10.5 beadlock for drag builds. For a staggered 20, the Foose and Ridler designs pair 20x8.5 with 20x10.
5 spoke wheels 5x114.3
Most designs here are offered in 5x114.3. The ESR APX5 is the exception. Other patterns include 5x100, 5x108, 5x110, 5x112, 5x115, 5x120, 5x120.65, 5x127, 5x135 and 5x139.7, depending on the design. Bolt pattern is only step one. Offset and hub bore matter just as much, and they vary by size. Plug your exact car into the fitment search, or start with the 5x114.3 lineup.
5-spoke on trucks vs cars
Most 5-spokes here are car wheels. For trucks, look at the designs offered in truck patterns. The Vision 142 Legend comes in 6x135 and 6x139.7 up to 22x9.5. The Vision 141H covers 5x139.7 and 6x139.7 in 15 and 17 inches. The Race Star Drag Star, Ridler 695, Foose Legends, Torq Thrust M and WELD Venturas include 5x127. Check load needs and clearance for your exact truck in the fitment search.
How these sizes look on real cars
Customer builds are a good gut check on width and offset. They run a mix of wheels, not all 5-spoke, but the sizes carry over:
- 2015 Lexus IS350: 18x9.5 +45 front, 18x10 +38 rear, 235 fronts, flush.
- 2014 Lexus IS F: 18x8.5 +35 front, 18x9.5 +38 rear, flush.
- 2014 Lexus IS350: 20x9 +35 front, 20x10 +40 rear, flush. Another runs square 18x8.5 +30.
- 2010 Genesis Coupe: 19x8.5 +20 front, 19x10.5 +27 rear, 245 fronts. A 2013 runs 19x9 +20 / 19x10.5 +25.
- 2016 Subaru WRX: square 18x10 +38 with 255s, flush.
- 2006 Subaru Outback: 18x8 +35, flush. 2005 Impreza: 19x8 +35.
- 2009 Toyota Corolla: 17x8 +35 with 225s, flush.
- 1992 Miata: 15x8 +20. 1994 del Sol: 15x8 +28, nearly flush.
Those numbers map onto 5-spoke sizes here. 18x9.5 shows up in the TS-5, CR5 and APX5C. 18x8 and 18x8.5 come in the TS-5. 17x8 comes in the TS-5, 141H and both Torq Thrust Ms. 20x9 fits the Vision 142 and WELD Venturas. Use the builds as a starting point, then confirm offset in the fitment search.
Buying tips
- Pick the look first (classic, drag, JDM), then the finish, then the size.
- Staggered setups need matching rear stock in your pattern, so check both sizes before you commit.
- Big brake kits need caliper clearance, and small 15s are the riskiest.
Narrow it down with the table above, then run your build through the fitment search to see what bolts on.
Questions
What's the difference between 5-spoke and twin 5-spoke wheels?
A 5-spoke has five single spokes, while a twin 5-spoke pairs them up for ten spokes in five groups. The single five looks cleaner and more open. The twin version looks busier and sportier.
Will a 5-spoke wheel clear my big brake kit?
Often, but not always. The open face helps, yet diameter, spoke shape and offset decide whether the caliper clears. Check your exact car and brake setup in the fitment search first.
What 5-spoke finish hides brake dust best?
Darker finishes like matte black, gloss black, gunmetal and bronze hide dust best. Chrome, polish and white show it fastest and need more frequent washing.
What does a beadlock wheel do?
A beadlock clamps the tire bead to the wheel so the tire can't spin on the rim during hard launches at low pressure. It's a drag-racing feature and more than most street cars need.
Why are drag 5-spoke front wheels so narrow?
Skinny fronts like 17x4.5, 18x5 and 20x5 cut weight and rolling drag at the front of a rear-drive drag car. They're built for straight-line runs, not daily cornering.
How do I know what offset I need?
Look up your exact car or truck in the fitment search, because offset depends on your car, suspension and width. Two cars with the same bolt pattern can need very different offsets.
