Apex VS-5RS 17x9 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET61 / 70.1mm CB - Satin Bronze (Honda) (VS5RS179ET61-51143-701-NSBZ)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel in the Apex lineup, delivering the ideal balance of strength, weight savings, and race-proven engineering. As part of the Sprint Line of forged wheels, this 17x9 Satin Bronze wheel was designed for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance on the street and at the track. Featuring a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 70.1mm center bore, the VS-5RS combines aggressive styling with advanced engineering developed through more than a decade of motorsport experience.
Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RS benefits from exceptional material density and strength. Deep side-milled spokes remove unnecessary weight while a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip provides increased durability. Extensive FEA optimization, independent testing beyond JWL standards, paintless knurled beads, and exceptional brake clearance make this one of the most capable forged wheels Apex has ever produced.
