Apex VS-5RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET38 / 70.3mm CB - Satin Bronze (Chevy) VS5RS1811ET38-512065-703-NSBZ
The Apex VS-5RS is the ultimate expression of lightweight forged wheel engineering. Developed as part of Apex's Sprint Line series, the VS-5RS was created for enthusiasts who demand exceptional performance without sacrificing strength or reliability. Finished in a striking Satin Bronze finish, this wheel delivers a motorsport-inspired appearance while providing the durability and precision needed for serious street and track applications.
Built from a proprietary 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the VS-5RS achieves remarkable strength through enhanced grain structure and material density. Apex's motorsport-specific forging process, advanced side-milled spoke design, reinforced Sprint inner lip, and extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization remove unnecessary mass while strengthening critical areas. The result is one of the lightest wheels Apex has ever produced without compromising structural integrity.
