Apex VS-5 18x11 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET52 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Bronze (VS51811ET52-51143-705-SBZ)
Engineered for enthusiasts who demand exceptional strength without the cost of a forged wheel, the Apex VS-5 delivers a remarkable balance of lightweight performance and durability. Finished in an eye-catching Satin Bronze, this 18x11 wheel utilizes advanced flow-formed construction and innovative engineering to provide a strength-to-weight ratio that rivals many forged designs. Weighing only about 2-2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 represents the ultimate step before moving into a fully forged wheel.
Extensive Finite Element Analysis, side-milled spokes, and a reinforced inner lip work together to create a wheel that thrives on the street and at the track. Massive brake clearance, ultra-concave profiles, and compatibility with factory hardware and TPMS sensors make the VS-5 a versatile option for performance-focused builds that demand uncompromising quality.
