Apex VS-5 18x10.5 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET22 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (VS518105ET22-5120-7256-AN)
The Apex VS-5 proves that flow-formed wheels can deliver serious motorsport capability without the price of a forged wheel. Weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 offers an exceptional combination of low weight, strength, and durability. Finished in a striking Anthracite finish, this aggressive 5-spoke design brings race-inspired styling and proven engineering to demanding street and track applications.
Part of the Apex Evolution Line, the VS-5 utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to improve the barrel's grain structure and strength while minimizing unnecessary mass. Extensive Finite Element Analysis, side-milled spokes, reinforced inner lips, and ultra-concave profiles work together to create a wheel capable of handling high-performance driving. Massive brake clearance and compatibility with factory hardware make the VS-5 an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking lightweight performance without compromise.
