Apex VS-5RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET44 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (BMW) VS5RS1811ET44-5120-7256-AN
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, engineered specifically for enthusiasts who demand exceptional performance without sacrificing strength. Combining advanced forged construction with race-proven engineering, the VS-5RS reduces rotational mass for improved acceleration, sharper turn-in, and enhanced braking response. Finished in a sophisticated Anthracite finish, this wheel delivers an aggressive motorsport appearance that perfectly complements modern BMW performance applications.
Manufactured from a proprietary 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the VS-5RS achieves exceptional material density and strength. Apex's exclusive motorsport-specific forging blanks provide complete control over wheel geometry, brake clearance, concavity, and structural integrity. Extensive CNC machining, deep side-milled spokes, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip work together to create a wheel that is remarkably lightweight while remaining exceptionally durable under demanding driving conditions.
