Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3mm BP / ET40 / 56.1mm CB - Satin Bronze (Subaru) (VS5RS1895ET40-51143-561-NSBZ)
The Apex VS-5RS 18x9.5 Forged Wheel is engineered for Subaru enthusiasts who demand uncompromising performance on both the street and the track. As part of Apex's ultra-lightweight Sprint Line, the VS-5RS combines cutting-edge forged construction with advanced engineering to deliver exceptional strength, low rotational mass, and precise handling. Finished in an eye-catching Satin Bronze, this wheel adds aggressive motorsport styling while maintaining the durability serious drivers expect.
Each VS-5RS begins as a proprietary 6061-T6 aluminum forging compressed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure. Advanced CNC machining, deep side-milled spokes, Sprint spec reinforced inner lip technology, and extensive Finite Element Analysis create a wheel that removes unnecessary weight without sacrificing structural integrity. Independent testing beyond JWL standards, massive brake clearance, paintless knurled bead seats, and hub-centric fitment make this one of the most capable forged wheels Apex has ever produced.
