Purpose-built for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance, the Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line. This 18x8.5 forged wheel is engineered to reduce unsprung and rotational weight for sharper steering response, improved braking, and faster acceleration without sacrificing durability. Finished in an eye-catching Motorsport Gold finish, it delivers race-inspired styling backed by the engineering needed for serious street and track performance.
Forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000 metric ton forging process, the VS-5RS utilizes proprietary motorsport forging blanks, deep side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead seats, and advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) optimization. Every wheel is independently tested beyond JWL standards to provide outstanding strength, exceptional brake clearance, and long-term reliability under demanding driving conditions.
