Apex VS-5 17x10 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET48 / 70.1mm CB - Race Silver (VS51710ET48-51143-701-RS)
The Apex VS-5 takes flow-formed wheel technology to the next level, delivering an impressive strength-to-weight ratio that blurs the line between flow-formed and forged designs. Finished in Race Silver, this 17x10 wheel combines an iconic five-spoke layout with advanced engineering and weighs only a couple pounds more than its forged counterpart, making it one of the most capable performance wheels in the Evolution Line.
Using sophisticated flow-forming processes, side-milled spokes, and extensive Finite Element Analysis, the VS-5 achieves exceptional strength and stiffness while keeping weight to a minimum. From aggressive street cars to dedicated track builds, the VS-5 provides the brake clearance, durability, and concavity enthusiasts demand without stepping up to the cost of a forged wheel.
