Apex VS-5RS 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET40 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Black (Ford) (VS5RS1810ET40-51143-705-SMBK)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever engineered, delivering an exceptional combination of lightweight performance, forged strength, and motorsport durability. Finished in Satin Black 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 advantage on the street and at the track. By reducing rotational mass while maintaining outstanding structural integrity, the VS-5RS helps improve acceleration, braking, steering response, and overall vehicle dynamics.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RS utilizes proprietary motorsport blank technology to maximize brake clearance, optimize concavity, and enhance strength throughout the wheel. Deep side-milled spokes remove unnecessary material without compromising durability, while the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip improves impact resistance in critical load areas. Extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization, independent testing beyond JWL standards, and paintless knurled bead seats make this one of the most advanced performance wheels available for serious Ford enthusiasts.
