Apex VS-5 17x9.5 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET35 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (VS51795ET35-5120-7256-AN)
The Apex VS-5 is engineered for enthusiasts who demand forged-inspired performance without the cost of a fully forged wheel. Finished in Anthracite, this 17x9.5 wheel combines lightweight construction, impressive strength, and exceptional brake clearance to create one of the most advanced flow formed wheels on the market. Weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 represents the final step before stepping into Apex's forged lineup.
Advanced flow-forming technology improves barrel grain structure and mechanical properties, allowing engineers to remove unnecessary material while maintaining exceptional strength and rigidity. Combined with side-milled spokes, a reinforced inner lip, and ultra-concave face profiles, the VS-5 is equally suited for aggressive street driving and serious track duty.
