Apex VS-5RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET44 / 72.56mm CB - Race Silver (BMW) VS5RS1811ET44-5120-7256-RS
The Apex VS-5RS is the ultimate lightweight forged wheel for BMW enthusiasts seeking maximum performance without compromising durability. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line lineup, the VS-5RS was engineered to reduce rotational mass, improve vehicle responsiveness, and deliver the confidence required for both street and track use. Finished in a clean Race Silver finish, this wheel provides timeless motorsport styling paired with industry-leading engineering.
Manufactured from a proprietary 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the VS-5RS achieves exceptional strength through superior material density and grain structure. Apex developed its own motorsport-specific forging blanks to maximize brake clearance, spoke geometry, concavity, and structural integrity. Combined with extensive CNC machining, deep side-milled spokes, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, the VS-5RS delivers an outstanding balance of lightweight performance and long-term durability.
