Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5 Forged Wheel - 5x112 BP / ET20 / 57.1mm CB - Anthracite (Audi Small Bore / Volkswagen) (VS5RS1895ET20-5112-571-AN)
The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for Audi small bore and Volkswagen enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance on both the street and the track. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line, this 18x9.5 forged wheel reduces unsprung and rotational mass for sharper handling, quicker acceleration, and more responsive braking. Finished in Anthracite, it delivers an aggressive motorsport appearance backed by race-proven engineering.
Forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum using an incredible 10,000 metric ton forging process, the VS-5RS utilizes proprietary motorsport blanks, deep side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead seats, and advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) optimization. Every Sprint wheel is independently tested beyond JWL standards to ensure exceptional durability, outstanding brake clearance, and confidence under demanding driving conditions.
