Apex VS-5 17x9 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x112 BP / ET42 / 57.1mm CB - Satin Bronze (VS5179ET42-5112-571-SBZ)
The Apex VS-5 delivers forged-inspired performance in a flow-formed package, making it one of the most capable wheels in the Evolution Line. Weighing only about 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 offers exceptional strength, impressive brake clearance, and a lightweight design that makes it equally at home on the street or at the track. Finished in striking Satin Bronze, this wheel brings aggressive styling and proven performance together in one package.
Advanced flow-forming technology improves the grain structure and mechanical properties of the barrel, allowing Apex engineers to optimize weight without compromising strength. Side-milled spokes, a reinforced inner lip, ultra-concave profiles, and extensive FEA development all contribute to a wheel that is engineered to withstand demanding driving conditions while delivering the fitment and brake clearance enthusiasts expect.
