Apex VS-5RS 18x8.5 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET23 / 64.1mm CB - Satin Black (VS5RS1885ET23-51143-641-NSBK)
The Apex VS-5RS is built for drivers who refuse to compromise between lightweight performance and long-term durability. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line, this 18x8.5 forged wheel reduces unsprung and rotational weight to deliver quicker acceleration, sharper turn-in, and more responsive braking. Finished in a sleek Satin Black finish, the VS-5RS offers aggressive motorsport styling backed by race-proven engineering for demanding Tesla performance applications.
Manufactured from premium 6061-T6 forged 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 extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The result is an exceptionally lightweight wheel engineered for outstanding strength, maximum brake clearance, and lasting reliability. Every Apex Sprint wheel is independently tested beyond JWL standards for confidence under the most demanding driving conditions.
