Apex VS-5 17x8.5 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x112 BP / ET43 / 57.1mm CB - Hyper Black (VS51785ET43-5112-571-NHBK)
The Apex VS-5 pushes the boundaries of what a flow formed wheel can achieve. Finished in Hyper Black, this 17x8.5 wheel delivers a remarkable combination of lightweight performance, exceptional strength, and aggressive styling. Weighing only about 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 represents the ultimate step before moving into a fully forged design.
Engineered as part of Apex's Evolution Line, the VS-5 features advanced side-milled spokes, a reinforced inner lip, and deep concave profiles to maximize strength and reduce weight. Extensive Finite Element Analysis and Apex's extensive brake scan library ensure exceptional stiffness and brake clearance, making this wheel equally at home on the street or at the track.
