Apex VS-5 18x11 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET52 / 70.5mm CB - Anthracite (VS51811ET52-51143-705-AN)
The Apex VS-5 pushes flow-formed wheel technology to its limits, delivering an impressive combination of lightweight construction, strength, and race-inspired styling. Weighing only about 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 sits at the top of Apex's Evolution Line and represents the final step before moving into a fully forged wheel. Finished in Anthracite, this iconic five-spoke design is engineered to excel on the street and the track alike.
Advanced flow-forming technology enhances the barrel's mechanical properties, increasing strength and stiffness while reducing unnecessary mass. Precision side-milled spokes, a reinforced inner lip, and extensive Finite Element Analysis help maximize durability and performance. Combined with outstanding brake clearance and compatibility with factory hardware and TPMS systems, the VS-5 delivers no-compromise performance for serious enthusiasts.
