Apex VS-5 18x10 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET40 / 70.5mm CB - Race Silver (VS51810ET40-51143-705-RS)
The Apex VS-5 takes flow-formed wheel technology to the next level, delivering many of the advantages of a forged wheel without the added expense. Weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 stands at the top of Apex's Evolution Line and represents the last step before moving to a fully forged setup. Finished in Race Silver, this iconic five-spoke design combines timeless motorsport styling with exceptional strength and lightweight performance.
Advanced flow-forming technology improves barrel strength and stiffness while removing unnecessary mass. Side-milled spokes, reinforced inner lips, and extensive Finite Element Analysis help create a wheel engineered to handle demanding street and track conditions. Designed around Apex's extensive brake scan library, the VS-5 provides impressive brake clearance and compatibility with OEM hardware, making it an ideal performance upgrade.
