Apex VS-5RS 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET40 / 70.5mm CB - Anthracite (Ford) (VS5RS1810ET40-51143-705-AN)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever engineered, delivering a remarkable combination of ultra-lightweight performance, forged strength, and race-proven durability. Finished in Anthracite and designed specifically for Ford applications, this 18x10 wheel is part of Apex's Sprint Line and was developed for enthusiasts who demand maximum performance without compromise. Whether you're reducing lap times at the track, improving responsiveness on the street, or building a serious performance machine, the VS-5RS provides the engineering and durability needed to perform at the highest level.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an advanced 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RS utilizes Apex's proprietary motorsport blank technology to maximize strength, brake clearance, and wheel optimization. Deep side-milled spokes remove excess material while preserving structural integrity, while a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip improves durability in critical impact zones. Extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization, independent testing beyond JWL standards, and paintless knurled bead seats help ensure the VS-5RS delivers the confidence and reliability required for demanding street and track environments.
