Apex VS-5RS 18x8.5 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET40 / 72.56mm CB - Race Silver (VS5RS1885ET40-5120-7256-RS)
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for BMW enthusiasts 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 improve steering precision, acceleration, and braking while maintaining the strength needed for demanding street and track use. Finished in Race Silver, it delivers a clean motorsport-inspired appearance that complements virtually any BMW build.
Manufactured from premium 6061-T6 forged aluminum using an enormous 10,000 metric ton forging press, 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). Every Sprint wheel is independently tested beyond JWL standards to provide outstanding durability, exceptional brake clearance, and confidence under the toughest driving conditions.
