Apex VS-5RS 18x12.5 Forged Wheel - 5x120.65 BP / ET52 / 70.3mm CB - Satin Black (Chevy) VS5RS18125ET52-512065-703-NSBK
If you're building a serious Chevrolet track car or high-performance street machine, the Apex VS-5RS delivers the lightweight performance, strength, and brake clearance needed to perform at the highest level. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line forged lineup, the VS-5RS utilizes advanced engineering and motorsport-focused design to reduce rotational mass while maintaining the durability required for aggressive driving. Finished in Satin Black, this 18x12.5 wheel delivers a clean, purposeful appearance that looks right at home on both track-focused and street-driven builds.
Manufactured from a custom 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure, the VS-5RS is engineered from the ground up for uncompromising performance. Side-milled spokes remove unnecessary material, while the reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, deep concavity, and extensive FEA optimization create a wheel that is exceptionally light without sacrificing strength. Combined with independent testing beyond JWL standards and Apex's industry-leading brake clearance, the VS-5RS is built to handle demanding conditions lap after lap.
