The Apex VS-5 represents the pinnacle of flow-formed wheel engineering, delivering forged-inspired performance without the premium price tag. Finished in Satin Black, this 18x11 wheel combines lightweight construction with exceptional strength, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts who demand maximum capability on the street or at the track. With a strength-to-weight ratio that rivals many forged wheels, the VS-5 is truly the final step before moving into a fully forged setup.
Advanced flow-forming technology improves barrel strength and stiffness while reducing unnecessary mass. Combined with precision side-milled spokes, a reinforced inner lip, massive brake clearance, and ultra-concave profiles, the VS-5 delivers outstanding durability and aggressive styling. Extensive FEA optimization ensures strength where it's needed most, while compatibility with factory hardware and TPMS sensors makes installation straightforward.
