Apex VS-5RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET38 / 70.3mm CB - Race Silver (Chevy) VS5RS1811ET38-512065-703-RS
The Apex VS-5RS represents the ultimate balance of lightweight performance and race-ready durability. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the VS-5RS was engineered for drivers who refuse to compromise. Whether you're shaving lap times at the track or upgrading your street-driven performance build, this wheel delivers exceptional strength, reduced rotational mass, and aggressive styling in a premium Race Silver finish.
Manufactured from a proprietary 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank and formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the VS-5RS achieves exceptional material density and strength. Apex then utilizes extensive CNC machining, deep side-milled spokes, and advanced Finite Element Analysis to eliminate unnecessary weight while reinforcing critical load-bearing areas. The result is a forged wheel that delivers outstanding responsiveness, durability, and confidence under demanding driving conditions.

FAQs
Why does the VS-5RS use side-milled spokes?
Side-milling removes unnecessary material from the sides of the spokes without compromising structural integrity. This process helps reduce rotational mass while maintaining the strength required for high-performance driving.
Can the VS-5RS be used for both street and track driving?
Yes. The VS-5RS was designed to excel in demanding motorsport environments while remaining perfectly suited for enthusiasts who want a lightweight, high-strength forged wheel for street use.
