Apex VS-5RS 17x8.5 Forged Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET44 / 56.1mm CB - Satin Bronze (VS5RS1785ET44-5100-561-NSBZ)
The Apex VS-5RS in Satin Bronze delivers uncompromising performance for enthusiasts who demand every advantage. As the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup, the VS-5RS combines cutting-edge forging technology with race-proven engineering to provide exceptional responsiveness, strength, and brake clearance. The rich Satin Bronze finish gives this wheel a timeless motorsport appearance while maintaining the durability needed for aggressive street driving and track use.
Constructed from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000-ton press, the VS-5RS utilizes extensive side milling and Finite Element Analysis to remove excess material while reinforcing critical load areas. The result is a wheel that remains remarkably lightweight without sacrificing durability. From its reinforced Sprint spec inner lip to its paintless knurled bead seats, every detail was designed with performance enthusiasts in mind.
