Apex VS-5 18x8.5 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET40 / 72.56mm CB - Satin Black (VS51885ET40-5120-7256-SMBK)
Designed for enthusiasts who demand exceptional performance without stepping into the world of forged wheels, the Apex VS-5 pushes flow-formed technology to the limit. Finished in Satin Black and weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged counterpart, the VS-5 delivers an impressive combination of strength, stiffness, and lightweight performance that makes it one of the top choices in the flow-formed category.
Part of Apex's Evolution Line, the VS-5 utilizes advanced flow-forming technology, side-milled spokes, and extensive FEA optimization to remove unnecessary material while maintaining exceptional durability. Massive brake clearance, reinforced impact zones, and hub-centric construction make this wheel equally at home on the street or at the racetrack.
