The Apex VS-5RS represents the pinnacle of lightweight wheel engineering. As the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup, this Sprint Line forged wheel is designed for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance without sacrificing durability. Finished in an aggressive Satin Bronze finish, the 17x9 VS-5RS delivers exceptional responsiveness, impressive brake clearance, and race-proven strength for Audi small-bore and Volkswagen applications.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the VS-5RS utilizes proprietary motorsport blanks and deep side-milled spokes to remove unnecessary material while reinforcing critical areas. Extensive FEA optimization, a stronger Sprint inner lip, paintless knurled bead seats, and independent testing beyond JWL standards ensure this wheel is ready for demanding street and track use.
