The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever produced, delivering an exceptional blend of low weight, strength, and track-ready durability. As part of the Sprint Line of forged wheels, this 17x9 wheel features a stunning Satin Bronze finish and was engineered for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance on the street and at the track. With advanced manufacturing techniques and vehicle-specific engineering, the VS-5RS is built to maximize brake clearance, reduce weight, and withstand the rigors of hard driving.
Manufactured from a massive 10K-ton forged 6061-T6 aluminum blank, the VS-5RS utilizes deep side-milled spokes and extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization to remove unnecessary material while reinforcing critical areas. The result is a lightweight wheel with a strengthened Sprint spec inner lip, excellent load capacity, and durability that exceeds typical lightweight designs.
