Apex VS-5RS 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET57 / 70.3mm CB - Satin Black (Chevy) VS5RS1811ET57-512065-703-NSBK
The Apex VS-5RS is the ultimate expression of lightweight forged wheel performance. Designed as the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line lineup, the VS-5RS delivers exceptional responsiveness, improved acceleration, sharper turn-in, and enhanced braking performance while maintaining the strength required for serious street and track use. Finished in a stealthy Satin Black finish, this wheel delivers an aggressive motorsport-inspired appearance that looks right at home on any Chevrolet performance build.
Manufactured 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 structural integrity. Apex developed its own motorsport-specific forging blanks to maximize brake clearance, spoke design, concavity, and overall performance. Combined with deep side-milled spokes, extensive CNC machining, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, the VS-5RS offers a remarkable balance of low weight, strength, and durability.
