Apex VS-5 18x10 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET40 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Bronze (VS51810ET40-51143-705-SBZ)
The Apex VS-5 pushes the limits of flow-formed wheel technology, delivering forged-inspired performance without the premium cost of a fully forged wheel. 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 ultimate step before upgrading to a forged setup. Finished in Satin Bronze, this iconic five-spoke design combines aggressive styling with exceptional strength and lightweight performance for demanding street and track applications.
Advanced flow-forming technology improves barrel strength and stiffness while eliminating unnecessary mass. Side-milled spokes, reinforced inner lips, and extensive Finite Element Analysis create a wheel engineered to thrive under demanding conditions. Designed around Apex's extensive library of brake scans, the VS-5 provides exceptional caliper clearance and compatibility with OEM hardware, making it an ideal upgrade for serious performance enthusiasts.
