Apex VS-5RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET57 / 70.3mm CB - Anthracite (Chevy) VS5RS1811ET57-512065-703-AN
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for drivers who demand the absolute best in lightweight performance and race-ready durability. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line forged wheel collection, the VS-5RS reduces rotational mass to improve acceleration, braking, steering response, and overall vehicle dynamics. Finished in a premium Anthracite finish, this wheel delivers an aggressive motorsport-inspired appearance while maintaining the strength required for serious street and track use.
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 structural integrity. Apex developed its own motorsport-specific forging blanks to maximize 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 elite-level performance without compromise.
