Apex VS-5RS 18x8.5 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET23 / 64.1mm CB - Anthracite (VS5RS1885ET23-51143-641-AN)
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for drivers who demand maximum performance without compromise. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line, this 18x8.5 forged wheel reduces unsprung and rotational weight to improve acceleration, braking, and steering precision while maintaining the durability required for both spirited street driving and dedicated track use. Finished in an aggressive Anthracite finish, it delivers race-inspired styling backed by cutting-edge engineering for Tesla performance applications.
Each VS-5RS is forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum using an incredible 10,000 metric ton forging process. Proprietary motorsport forging blanks, deep side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead seats, and advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) combine to create a wheel with exceptional strength, impressive brake clearance, and remarkably low weight. Every Apex Sprint wheel is independently tested beyond JWL standards to provide confidence under the most demanding driving conditions.
