Apex VS-5RS 18x8.5 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET40 / 72.56mm CB - Brushed Clear (VS5RS1885ET40-5120-7256-BC)
The Apex VS-5RS is purpose-built for BMW enthusiasts who expect uncompromising performance from every component. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line, this 18x8.5 forged wheel reduces unsprung and rotational mass to improve steering precision, acceleration, and braking response without sacrificing the durability required for demanding street and track driving. Finished in an elegant Brushed Clear finish, it delivers premium styling with race-inspired engineering.
Each VS-5RS is forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 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 extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) optimization create a wheel that offers remarkable strength, impressive brake clearance, and exceptionally low weight. Every Apex Sprint wheel is independently tested beyond JWL standards to provide confidence under the harshest driving conditions.
