Apex VS-5 17x9 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET42 / 72.56mm CB - Hyper Black (VS5179ET42-5120-7256-NHBK)
Built for enthusiasts who demand serious performance without stepping up to a forged wheel, the Apex VS-5 delivers an exceptional balance of strength, weight savings, and brake clearance. Part of the Evolution Line, the VS-5 offers many of the advanced features typically reserved for forged wheels while weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart. Finished in an aggressive Hyper Black finish, this iconic 5-spoke design combines race-inspired styling with track-ready capability.
Advanced flow-forming technology improves barrel strength and stiffness while allowing Apex engineers to optimize weight without sacrificing durability. Side-milled spokes, reinforced inner lips, deep concave profiles, and extensive Finite Element Analysis all contribute to a wheel that is equally comfortable on the street or at the track. Designed around OEM and aftermarket brake systems, the VS-5 provides impressive caliper clearance and exceptional performance under demanding conditions.
