Apex VS-5 17x10 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET48 / 70.1mm CB - Satin Black (VS51710ET48-51143-701-SMBK)
The Apex VS-5 pushes flow-formed wheel technology to the limit, delivering an impressive strength-to-weight ratio and features normally associated with forged wheels. Finished in Satin Black, this 17x10 wheel combines a timeless five-spoke design with advanced engineering to provide serious performance for enthusiasts who demand lightweight strength without stepping up to a fully forged wheel. At only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds heavier than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 represents the ultimate evolution of flow-formed performance.
Built using Apex's advanced Evolution Line manufacturing process, the VS-5 incorporates side-milled spokes, extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization, and a reinforced inner lip to maximize strength and durability. Deep concave face profiles and exceptional brake clearance make this wheel equally suited for aggressive street driving and demanding track use.
