Apex VS-5RS 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET40 / 70.5mm CB - Brushed Clear (Ford) (VS5RS1810ET40-51143-705-BC)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever engineered, delivering an extraordinary combination of low weight, forged strength, and track-proven durability. Finished in Brushed Clear 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 from every component on their vehicle. Whether you're attacking corners at the road course, improving acceleration and handling response, or building a serious street machine, the VS-5RS delivers the confidence and capability needed to perform at the highest level.
Constructed 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 brake clearance, concavity, and structural strength. Deep side-milled spokes remove unnecessary material while preserving rigidity, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip helps improve impact resistance in high-stress environments. Extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization, independent testing beyond JWL standards, and paintless knurled bead seats make the VS-5RS an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking elite performance without compromise.
