Apex VS-5RS 18x11.5 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET50 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Bronze (Ford) (VS5RS18115ET50-51143-705-NSBZ)
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel Apex has ever produced, engineered for drivers who demand uncompromising performance on the street, at the drag strip, or on the road course. Finished in Satin Bronze, this 18x11.5 forged wheel combines aggressive motorsport styling with advanced engineering, delivering an exceptional balance of lightweight responsiveness, strength, and durability for serious Ford enthusiasts.
As part of Apex's Sprint Line, the VS-5RS is manufactured from forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process. Proprietary motorsport blanks, deep side-milled spokes, advanced FEA optimization, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip all work together to reduce weight while maintaining the structural integrity required for demanding performance applications. Independent testing beyond JWL standards, massive brake clearance, and paintless knurled bead technology further separate the VS-5RS from conventional lightweight wheel designs.
