Apex VS-5RS 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET40 / 70.5mm CB - Motorsport Gold (Ford) (VS5RS1810ET40-51143-705-MGD)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever engineered, combining cutting-edge forged construction, exceptional strength, and race-proven durability into one uncompromising package. Finished in Motorsport Gold and designed specifically for Ford applications, this 18x10 wheel is part of Apex's Sprint Line and was developed for enthusiasts who demand every possible performance advantage. Whether you're building a track-focused Mustang, a weekend autocross car, or a high-performance street machine, the VS-5RS delivers the lightweight responsiveness 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, optimize brake clearance, and create aggressive concavity profiles. Deep side-milled spokes remove unnecessary material while maintaining structural integrity, while a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip improves impact resistance and durability. Extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization, independent testing beyond JWL standards, and paintless knurled bead seats help ensure this wheel performs under the harshest driving conditions.
