Apex VS-5RS 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET40 / 70.5mm CB - Race Silver (Ford) (VS5RS1810ET40-51143-705-RS)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever produced, combining cutting-edge forged construction, race-proven durability, and exceptional weight savings into one purpose-built performance wheel. Finished in Race Silver and engineered specifically for Ford applications, this 18x10 wheel is part of Apex's Sprint Line and was designed for enthusiasts who demand maximum performance on both the street and the track. From improved acceleration and braking response to sharper handling characteristics, the VS-5RS helps unlock your vehicle's full potential.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RS utilizes proprietary motorsport blank technology to maximize strength, optimize brake clearance, and allow aggressive concavity profiles. Deep side-milled spokes remove excess material while preserving structural integrity, while the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip provides increased resistance against impacts and harsh track conditions. Extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization, independent testing beyond JWL standards, and paintless knurled bead seats make this one of the most advanced forged wheels Apex has ever engineered.
