Apex VS-5RS 18x11.5 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET50 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Black (Ford) (VS5RS18115ET50-51143-705-NSBK)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever engineered, purpose-built for enthusiasts who demand maximum performance without compromising durability. As part of Apex's Sprint Line of forged wheels, the VS-5RS delivers exceptional strength, reduced rotational mass, and race-proven engineering in a sleek Satin Black finish that looks right at home on aggressive street and track-focused Ford builds.
Manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RS begins with Apex's proprietary motorsport blank design for optimal brake clearance, concavity, and strength. Deep side-milled spokes reduce unnecessary weight while the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip enhances durability in high-stress conditions. Combined with extensive FEA optimization, independent third-party testing, paintless knurled bead technology, and hub-centric engineering, the VS-5RS is built for drivers who demand the best from their wheel package.
