The Apex VS-5 pushes flow-formed wheel technology to the limit, delivering a remarkable combination of lightweight performance, strength, and motorsport-inspired styling. Weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 offers many of the same advanced features found in forged wheels without the premium price tag. Finished in Satin Black, this iconic five-spoke design delivers a timeless appearance with the durability and performance enthusiasts demand for both street and track use.
Part of the Apex Evolution Line, the VS-5 utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to improve barrel strength and stiffness while minimizing weight. Extensive Finite Element Analysis, side-milled spokes, reinforced inner lips, and deep concave face profiles combine to create a wheel engineered for serious driving. Massive brake clearance and compatibility with OEM hardware make the VS-5 an ideal choice for performance-focused builds.
