Apex VS-5RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET52 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Bronze (Ford) VS5RS1811ET52-51143-705-NSBZ
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for enthusiasts who demand every advantage on the street and at the track. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel lineup, the VS-5RS delivers reduced rotational mass, quicker acceleration, sharper turn-in response, and improved braking performance without sacrificing durability. Finished in a striking Satin Bronze finish, this wheel brings aggressive motorsport-inspired styling to any Ford performance build.
Constructed 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 optimized grain structure. Apex developed its own motorsport-specific forging blanks to maximize brake clearance, spoke geometry, concavity, and structural rigidity. Combined with deep side-milled spokes, precision CNC machining, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, the result is a wheel engineered to perform under the most demanding conditions.
