The Apex VS-5RS is engineered for Audi small bore and Volkswagen enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance from every component. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line, this 18x9.5 forged wheel reduces unsprung and rotational weight to deliver quicker acceleration, sharper steering response, and improved braking performance without sacrificing durability. Finished in Satin Black, it offers an aggressive motorsport appearance backed by race-proven engineering.
Forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000 metric ton forging process, the VS-5RS features proprietary motorsport forging blanks, deep side-milled spokes, a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead seats, and advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
