Apex VS-5 17x9 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET48 / 56.1mm CB - Satin Bronze (VS5179ET48-5100-561-SBZ)
The Apex VS-5 pushes the limits of flow-formed wheel technology, bringing forged-inspired performance to enthusiasts who demand lightweight strength and uncompromising durability. Weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged sibling, the VS-5 represents the last step before moving into a fully forged wheel. Finished in eye-catching Satin Bronze, this iconic 5-spoke design delivers aggressive styling backed by race-proven engineering.
As part of the Apex Evolution Line, the VS-5 utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to improve barrel strength and stiffness while reducing unnecessary weight. Extensive Finite Element Analysis, side-milled spokes, reinforced inner lips, and deep concave 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 excellent choice for performance enthusiasts looking to maximize both form and function.
