Apex VS-5RS 17x9 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET42 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (BMW) - VS5RS179ET42-5120-7256-AN
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup and a true showcase of modern forged wheel engineering. Designed as part of the Sprint Line, this 17x9 wheel delivers incredible strength, massive brake clearance, and race-ready durability while minimizing weight for sharper handling and quicker response. Finished in Anthracite, the VS-5RS brings premium styling and serious motorsport capability to BMW enthusiasts.
Each VS-5RS begins as a proprietary 6061-T6 aluminum forging subjected to an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure. Deep side-milled spokes, FEA-optimized construction, and the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip create a wheel that balances lightweight performance with exceptional durability. Independent testing beyond JWL standards, paintless knurled beads, and hub-centric fitment make the VS-5RS equally at home on the street or at the track.
