The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for drivers who demand uncompromising performance from every component of their build. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the VS-5RS combines advanced forging technology, motorsport-derived engineering, and exceptional durability into a wheel designed to thrive on the street, autocross course, and race track. Finished in a stealthy Satin Black finish, it delivers an aggressive appearance that perfectly complements high-performance BMW applications.
Built from a proprietary 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank formed under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the VS-5RS achieves outstanding material density and strength while maintaining remarkably low weight. Apex's motorsport-specific forging blanks allow precise control over spoke geometry, brake clearance, concavity, and structural integrity. Combined with deep side-milled spokes, extensive FEA optimization, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, the result is a wheel that delivers elite-level performance without compromising durability.
