Apex VS-5 17x9 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET30 / 72.56mm CB - Satin Black (BMW) (VS5179ET30-5120-7256-SMBK)
The Apex VS-5 pushes flow-formed wheel technology to the absolute limit, delivering a strength-to-weight ratio typically reserved for forged wheels. Finished in Satin Black, this 17x9 wheel blends aggressive styling with race-proven engineering, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts who demand lightweight performance and uncompromising strength. Weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 represents the final step before moving into a fully forged wheel.
Built using advanced flow-forming technology and optimized through extensive Finite Element Analysis, the VS-5 combines side-milled spokes, reinforced inner lip construction, and massive brake clearance to deliver exceptional performance both on the street and at the track. Ultra-concave face profiles and compatibility with OEM hardware and TPMS sensors make this wheel as practical as it is capable.
