Apex VS-5 18x11 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET52 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Black (VS51811ET52-51143-705-SMBK)
Designed for enthusiasts who demand serious performance without the price tag of a forged wheel, the Apex VS-5 pushes flow-formed technology to the limit. Finished in Satin Black, this 18x11 wheel combines lightweight construction, exceptional strength, and aggressive styling to deliver the ideal balance for street and track use. Weighing only about 2-2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 represents the final step in performance before moving to a fully forged wheel.
Advanced flow-forming technology improves barrel strength and stiffness while minimizing unnecessary weight. Side-milled spokes, a reinforced inner lip, and extensive Finite Element Analysis result in a wheel engineered to withstand demanding conditions without sacrificing performance. Massive brake clearance and hub-centric fitment make the VS-5 an ideal choice for serious drivers looking to maximize capability and style.
