Apex VS-5RS 19x9 Forged Wheel - 5x112 BP / ET34 / 57.1mm CB - Anthracite (Audi R8) - VS5RS199ET34-5112-571-AN
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel in the Apex Sprint Line, engineered for drivers who demand maximum performance without sacrificing durability. This fully forged 19x9 wheel reduces unsprung weight to sharpen steering response, improve acceleration, and enhance braking performance while maintaining the strength needed for aggressive street driving and demanding track use. Finished in Anthracite, it delivers an understated motorsport-inspired appearance that perfectly complements Audi R8 performance builds.
Every VS-5RS starts with a proprietary motorsport-specific 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure. Advanced CNC machining removes unnecessary material through deep side-milled spokes while reinforcing high-load areas with Apex's Sprint spec inner lip. Combined with exceptional brake clearance, paintless knurled bead technology, hub-centric engineering, and independent testing beyond JWL standards, the VS-5RS is built to perform at the highest level both on and off the track.
