Apex VS-5 17x9 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET48 / 56.1mm CB - Race Silver (VS5179ET48-5100-561-RS)
The Apex VS-5 brings forged-inspired performance to the world of flow-formed wheels, delivering exceptional strength, low weight, and race-proven engineering without the cost of a fully forged design. Weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged sibling, the VS-5 represents the final step before moving into Apex's forged lineup. Finished in Race Silver, this iconic five-spoke design combines timeless motorsport styling with the durability and performance enthusiasts demand.
Part of the Apex Evolution Line, the VS-5 utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to improve barrel strength and stiffness while minimizing unnecessary mass. Side-milled spokes, reinforced inner lips, and extensive Finite Element Analysis help create a wheel that is equally capable on the street and at the track. Massive brake clearance and compatibility with factory hardware make the VS-5 a versatile upgrade for performance-minded drivers.
