Apex VS-5RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET44 / 72.56mm CB - Motorsport Gold (BMW) VS5RS1811ET44-5120-7256-MGD
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for enthusiasts who demand the absolute best in lightweight performance and race-proven durability. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel collection, the VS-5RS delivers reduced rotational mass, sharper handling response, and improved acceleration without sacrificing the strength needed for serious track use. Finished in a striking Motorsport Gold finish, this wheel combines aggressive styling with the advanced engineering that has made Apex a favorite among performance-minded BMW owners.
Built 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 structural integrity. Apex's exclusive motorsport-specific forging blanks provide complete control over brake clearance, spoke geometry, concavity, and load-bearing strength. Combined with extensive CNC machining, deep side-milled spokes, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, the result is a forged wheel that delivers outstanding performance on the street and at the track.
