The BJ Wheels V5-Race is a flow-formed monoblock wheel with a defining design feature unique in the BJ Wheels lineup: real bolt-on changeable inlays that let you swap the spoke accent colour without removing the wheel. Built with FLOW FORM technology and TÜV-certified in Germany, the V5-Race is available in 19- and 20-inch diameters across multiple bolt patterns — making it one of the most versatile wheels in the BJ Wheels road-sport range. Please note: unlike the V4-Race, the V5-Race does not fit large OEM brake calipers such as the Audi RS3 four-pot.

The V5-Race's signature feature is its bolt-on spoke inlays: coloured aluminium inserts that sit between the spokes and bolt into place. Unlike paint or powder coating, the inlays can be ordered in a contrasting or matching colour and swapped at any point — a different look for track days, a seasonal change, or a full car refresh without buying new wheels. Inlay colours: Black Glossy, Black Matte, Red, and Gunmetal. Specify your preferred inlay colour in the order notes.
All TÜV appraisal and strength test documents for the V5-Race are publicly available for download directly from BJ Wheels:
The V5-Race is produced in three stock bolt patterns, covering a broad range of European and Asian performance platforms:
5×112 variants — Audi, VW, Mercedes, SEAT/Cupra, Škoda
⚠️ Audi RS3 owners: the V5-Race does not clear the RS3 four-pot calipers. Consider the BJ Wheels V4-Race, which is specifically engineered for RS3 brake clearance.
5×120 variants — BMW
5×114.3 variants — JDM and Korean performance

Compatible wheel hardware (5×112, 66.6 mm hub): M14×1.5 thread, conical seat 60°, shank length 28–30 mm. For 57.1 mm OEM hub bore (Mercedes, some Audi), add a 66.6→57.1 mm hub centric ring set to eliminate vibration at speed.

The V5-Race is the design-forward choice in the BJ Wheels flow-formed range — defined by its changeable inlays and broad bolt pattern coverage. If you need RS3 caliper clearance in 5×112, the V4-Race is your wheel. For other models in the range, see the V1-Race, V3-Race, and F1-Lightweight. For the full range of flow-formed and forged options, browse the forged wheels collection.

Production takes 3–6 weeks with worldwide delivery, and the price is often competitive with premium catalogue fitments.

What cars does the BJ Wheels V5-Race fit?
The V5-Race is available in 5×112 (Audi, VW, Mercedes-AMG, SEAT/Cupra, Škoda), 5×120 (BMW M series and standard platform), and 5×114.3 (Toyota GR86, Honda Civic Type R, Nissan GT-R, Hyundai i30 N, Kia Stinger). Check the fitment guide above for your specific ET and hub bore requirements.
Does the V5-Race fit Audi RS3 big brakes?
No — the V5-Race does not clear the Audi RS3 four-pot OEM calipers. For RS3 clearance in the BJ Wheels lineup, the V4-Race is specifically engineered for this application.
What are the changeable inlays and how do I swap them?
Bolt-on aluminium colour inserts that sit between the spokes. They come with the wheel in a colour of your choice and can be replaced by unbolting the inlays and fitting the new set — no specialised tools required. Replacement inlay sets are available separately through BJ Wheels; ask us to include a set in your order.
Is the V5-Race street legal?
Yes. Every V5-Race comes with a TÜV part appraisal and TÜV strength test certificate, making it fully road-legal in Germany and across the EU.
What is the difference between 19-inch and 20-inch V5-Race variants?
The 19-inch options suit most road-oriented sport setups and offer the widest range of ET choices. The 20-inch options provide a more aggressive stance and are typically paired with wider tyres for track or show builds. All variants share the same spoke design and inlay system.
What colour combinations are available?
Wheel base: Black, Red, or Gunmetal. Inlay colours: Black Glossy, Black Matte, Red, or Gunmetal. Specify both in your order notes. Popular combinations include Black wheel with Red inlays and Gunmetal wheel with Black Matte inlays.
Can I get the V5-Race in a bolt pattern other than the standard options?
Yes — through our custom forged wheel service, the V5-Race design can be produced in 5×130 (Porsche), 5×108 (Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover), or any other PCD. Contact us for a quote and lead time.
The V5-Race finish is protected by a ceramic clear coat resistant to road salt, brake dust, and UV. To maintain it: use a pH-neutral wheel cleaner — avoid acid or alkaline degreasers; rinse with cool water before applying any product and never spray onto a hot disc; dry with a microfibre cloth to prevent water-spot deposits. For the inlays, the same care applies — do not use wire brushes or abrasive pads on the inlay faces.
The V5-Race ships regularly to key European and Middle Eastern markets. In Western Europe, the 5×112 range serves the dense VAG and Mercedes fleet in the Netherlands and Switzerland. The 5×120 options bring in BMW customers from the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The 5×114.3 range serves the JDM community across Cyprus, Turkey, and Greece. Every shipment leaves with full export documentation and tracked, insured logistics.
