Built for drivers who demand maximum performance without unnecessary weight, the Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5 Forged Wheel delivers race-proven engineering in a lightweight package. Part of the Apex Sprint Line, the VS-5RS combines advanced forged construction, exceptional brake clearance, and outstanding durability to give Subaru enthusiasts a wheel that's equally at home on the street or at the track. Finished in an aggressive Anthracite coating, it complements virtually any build while providing the strength serious drivers expect.
Each VS-5RS begins as a proprietary 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure before undergoing extensive CNC machining. Deep side-milled spokes, advanced Finite Element Analysis optimization, a reinforced Sprint spec inner lip, paintless knurled bead seats, and laser-engraved specifications all work together to create one of the lightest and strongest forged wheels Apex has ever produced.
