Apex VS-5RS 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET40 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Bronze (Ford) (VS5RS1810ET40-51143-705-SBZ)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever engineered, offering an exceptional combination of lightweight performance, forged strength, and race-ready durability. Finished in Satin Bronze 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 looking to improve acceleration, sharpen handling response, or reduce unsprung weight for track use, the VS-5RS delivers the engineering 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 strength, brake clearance, and concavity. Deep side-milled spokes remove unnecessary material while preserving structural integrity, and 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 performs under the most demanding street and track conditions.
