The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup, engineered for enthusiasts who demand maximum performance without compromising durability. Part of the Sprint Line, this 17x9 forged wheel combines ultra-low weight, exceptional strength, and race-inspired engineering to provide sharper response and confidence whether you're carving back roads or attacking apexes on track. The premium Brushed Clear finish delivers a timeless motorsport look that perfectly complements Audi small-bore and Volkswagen applications.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum under 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the VS-5RS utilizes custom motorsport blanks, deep side-milled spokes, and extensive FEA optimization to remove unnecessary weight while reinforcing critical areas. A stronger Sprint inner lip, exceptional brake clearance, paintless knurled bead seats, and laser-engraved barrel specifications make this one of the most advanced forged wheels Apex has ever produced.
