Apex VS-5 17x9.5 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET35 / 72.56mm CB - Hyper Black (BMW) (VS51795ET35-5120-7256-NHBK)
The Apex VS-5 was engineered to push the limits of flow-formed wheel technology, delivering a remarkable balance of low weight, exceptional strength, and race-proven performance. Finished in stunning Hyper Black, this 17x9.5 wheel offers forged-wheel-inspired engineering and weighs only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart. For enthusiasts seeking maximum performance without stepping into a fully forged wheel, the VS-5 represents the ultimate evolution of flow-formed design.
Through extensive engineering and Finite Element Analysis, Apex optimized the VS-5 for maximum stiffness, outstanding brake clearance, and enhanced durability. Side-milled spokes, a reinforced inner lip, and ultra-concave profiles combine to create a wheel equally at home on the street or the track.

Performance Engineering
Flow-forming technology improves barrel grain structure and stiffness, allowing Apex engineers to reduce weight without sacrificing durability. Side-milled spokes remove excess material that does not contribute to strength, while the reinforced inner lip adds protection against potholes and track curbing. The result is a wheel that delivers exceptional performance and durability with aggressive styling.
