Apex VS-5 18x11 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET52 / 70.5mm CB - Race Silver (VS51811ET52-51143-705-RS)
Built for enthusiasts who demand lightweight performance without stepping up to a forged wheel, the Apex VS-5 pushes flow-formed technology to its limits. Featuring an aggressive 5-spoke design and finished in Race Silver, this 18x11 wheel delivers an exceptional blend of strength, stiffness, and reduced weight. Coming in only about 2-2.5 pounds heavier than its forged sibling, the VS-5 represents the ultimate Evolution Line wheel before making the jump to a fully forged setup.
Advanced flow-forming technology enhances barrel strength while keeping weight in check. Side-milled spokes remove unnecessary material without sacrificing rigidity, while a reinforced inner lip helps withstand impacts from potholes, curbing, and track abuse. Extensive FEA testing, massive brake clearance, and compatibility with OEM hardware and TPMS systems make the VS-5 equally at home on the street or road course.
