Apex VS-5 18x11 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET44 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (VS51811ET44-5120-7256-AN)
The Apex VS-5 pushes the limits of what a flow-formed wheel can achieve, combining forged-inspired performance with outstanding value. Weighing only about 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 represents the final step before moving to a fully forged wheel. Finished in Anthracite, this aggressive five-spoke design delivers exceptional strength, reduced weight, and the motorsport-inspired styling enthusiasts demand for both street and track use.
Through advanced flow-forming technology, Apex enhances barrel strength and stiffness while minimizing unnecessary mass. Precision side-milled spokes, a reinforced inner lip, and extensive Finite Element Analysis work together to maximize durability and performance. Designed using Apex's extensive brake scan database, the VS-5 offers impressive brake clearance and compatibility with OEM hardware and TPMS systems for a hassle-free installation.
