Apex VS-5RS 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET40 / 72.56mm CB - Motorsport Gold (BMW) (VS5RS1810ET40-5120-7256-MGD)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever engineered, delivering an exceptional combination of forged strength, reduced weight, and race-proven durability. Finished in Motorsport Gold and engineered specifically for BMW applications, this 18x10 wheel is part of Apex's Sprint Line and was designed for enthusiasts seeking every possible performance advantage. Whether you're shaving tenths off lap times, improving vehicle responsiveness, or reducing unsprung weight, the VS-5RS delivers the capability demanded by serious drivers.
Built from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RS utilizes Apex's proprietary motorsport blank technology to optimize strength, brake clearance, and spoke geometry. Deep side-milled spokes remove excess material without sacrificing durability, while the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip increases impact resistance in critical load areas. Extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization, independent testing beyond JWL standards, and paintless knurled bead seats help ensure exceptional performance and reliability whether on the street, autocross course, or race track.
