Apex VS-5 17x9 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET48 / 56.1mm CB - Hyper Black (VS5179ET48-5100-561-NHBK)
The Apex VS-5 pushes the limits of flow-formed wheel technology, offering many of the advantages of a forged wheel without the added expense. Weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged sibling, the VS-5 delivers an outstanding balance of strength, low weight, and track-ready durability. Finished in a deep Hyper Black finish, this iconic 5-spoke design combines aggressive styling with the performance features enthusiasts demand.
Built as part of the Apex Evolution Line, the VS-5 utilizes advanced flow-forming processes to improve barrel strength and stiffness while minimizing unnecessary weight. Extensive Finite Element Analysis, side-milled spokes, reinforced inner lips, and deep concave face profiles create a wheel capable of handling demanding street and track environments. Massive brake clearance and compatibility with OEM hardware make the VS-5 an ideal upgrade for performance-minded drivers.
