Apex VS-5 17x9 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET30 / 72.56mm CB - Race Silver (BMW) (VS5179ET30-5120-7256-RS)
The Apex VS-5 pushes flow-formed wheel technology to its limits, delivering a strength-to-weight ratio and advanced engineering typically reserved for forged wheels. Finished in Race Silver, this 17x9 wheel combines aggressive styling with race-proven performance, making it the perfect choice for enthusiasts who demand lightweight strength without stepping into a fully forged wheel. At only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds heavier than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 represents the pinnacle of Apex's Evolution Line.
Using advanced flow-forming technology, extensive Finite Element Analysis, and weight-saving side-milled spokes, the VS-5 achieves exceptional strength, impressive stiffness, and massive brake clearance. Reinforced inner lip construction and ultra-concave face profiles provide both durability and an aggressive appearance, while compatibility with OEM hardware and TPMS sensors ensures straightforward installation.
