The Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5 Forged Wheel is built for BMW enthusiasts who refuse to compromise between weight, strength, and performance. As the lightest wheel in Apex's Sprint Line, the VS-5RS delivers race-proven engineering that enhances acceleration, braking, and cornering while maintaining the durability needed for demanding street and track use. Finished in Satin Black, this wheel offers a clean, aggressive appearance that perfectly complements virtually any BMW performance build.
Manufactured from premium forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an incredible 10,000 metric ton forging process, the VS-5RS features proprietary motorsport blanks, aggressive side-milled spokes, and a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip for outstanding strength without unnecessary weight. Extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA), independent testing beyond JWL standards, paintless knurled bead seats, and vehicle-specific engineering make this one of the most capable forged wheels Apex has ever produced.
