Apex VS-5 19x9 Flow Formed Wheel - 5x112 BP / ET42 / 57.1mm CB - Satin Black (Audi Big Bore) (VS5199ET42-5112-571-SMBK)
The Apex VS-5 pushes the boundaries of flow formed wheel technology with a strength-to-weight ratio normally reserved for forged designs. Weighing only approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds more than its forged sibling, the VS-5 delivers serious performance without stepping up to a fully forged wheel. Finished in a stealthy Satin Black finish, this wheel blends lightweight construction, aggressive styling, and race-proven durability for enthusiasts who demand more from their setup.
Using advanced flow-forming technology, the VS-5 enhances the barrel's grain structure and mechanical properties for increased strength and stiffness while reducing unnecessary mass. Side-milled spokes, a reinforced inner lip, ultra-concave face profiles, and massive brake clearance make this wheel equally at home on the street or at the track. Extensive Finite Element Analysis and Apex's expansive brake scan library ensure exceptional performance without compromise.
