Apex VS-5 18x10.5 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET22 / 72.56mm CB - Satin Black (VS518105ET22-5120-7256-SMBK)
The Apex VS-5 represents the pinnacle of flow-formed wheel technology, delivering forged-inspired performance with exceptional strength, low weight, and aggressive styling. Weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 bridges the gap between traditional flow-formed wheels and fully forged designs. Finished in Satin Black, this iconic 5-spoke wheel brings timeless motorsport aesthetics and race-ready capability to your build.
As part of the Apex Evolution Line, the VS-5 utilizes advanced flow-forming technology to enhance barrel strength and stiffness while removing unnecessary weight. Extensive Finite Element Analysis, side-milled spokes, reinforced inner lips, and deep concave profiles work together to create a wheel engineered to thrive under demanding street and track conditions. Massive brake clearance and compatibility with OEM hardware further make the VS-5 an ideal choice for serious enthusiasts.
