Apex VS-5RS 17x8 Forged Wheel - 5x100 BP / ET40 / 56.1mm CB - Anthracite (VS5RS178ET40-5100-561-AN)
The Apex VS-5RS in Anthracite delivers championship-level engineering in an ultra-lightweight forged package built for enthusiasts who demand maximum performance without compromise. As the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup, the VS-5RS is designed to reduce rotational mass while maintaining the strength and durability required for serious street and track use. Its clean five-spoke design and deep Anthracite finish provide a purposeful motorsport look that complements any performance build.
Each VS-5RS begins life as a 6061-T6 aluminum forging formed under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure. Extensive side milling, advanced Finite Element Analysis, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip allow Apex to remove unnecessary material while strengthening critical areas. Massive brake clearance, paintless knurled bead seats, and independent testing beyond JWL standards make the VS-5RS one of the most advanced forged wheels available.
