Apex VS-5RS 18x11.5 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET50 / 70.5mm CB - Anthracite (Ford) (VS5RS18115ET50-51143-705-AN)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever produced, combining advanced forged construction, exceptional strength, and race-bred engineering into a package built for serious performance enthusiasts. Finished in Anthracite and designed for Ford applications, this 18x11.5 wheel is part of Apex's Sprint Line and delivers the ideal balance of lightweight responsiveness, durability, and brake clearance. Whether you're building a dedicated track car, drag-focused setup, or high-performance street machine, the VS-5RS is engineered to perform under the most demanding conditions.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RS starts with proprietary motorsport blanks developed specifically by Apex. Deep side-milled spokes remove excess material while maintaining strength, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip enhances durability in critical impact zones. Extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization, independent testing beyond JWL standards, paintless knurled bead technology, and vehicle-specific fitment engineering make the VS-5RS one of the most advanced lightweight forged wheels available today.
