Apex VS-5RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET57 / 70.3mm CB - Brushed Clear (Chevy) VS5RS1811ET57-512065-703-BC
The Apex VS-5RS represents the pinnacle of lightweight forged wheel engineering. Designed for serious enthusiasts and racers alike, the VS-5RS is the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line lineup, delivering quicker acceleration, sharper steering response, improved braking performance, and reduced unsprung weight. Finished in an eye-catching Brushed Clear finish, this wheel combines premium aesthetics with uncompromising motorsport performance.
Built from a proprietary 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank formed under an immense 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the VS-5RS achieves exceptional strength through superior grain structure and material density. Apex developed its own motorsport-specific forging blanks to maximize brake clearance, spoke design flexibility, concavity, and structural performance. Combined with extensive CNC machining, deep side-milled spokes, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, the VS-5RS offers an ideal balance of strength, durability, and weight savings.
