Apex VS-5RS 19x9 Forged Wheel - 5x112 BP / ET34 / 57.1mm CB - Brushed Clear (Audi R8) - VS5RS199ET34-5112-571-BC
The Apex VS-5RS is the lightest wheel in the Apex Sprint Line, purpose-built for enthusiasts seeking uncompromising performance without sacrificing durability. This fully forged 19x9 wheel reduces unsprung weight to improve steering response, acceleration, braking performance, and overall vehicle dynamics while maintaining the strength required for demanding street and track driving. Finished in Brushed Clear, it showcases the premium forged aluminum construction with a refined motorsport-inspired appearance that's perfectly suited for Audi R8 applications.
Every VS-5RS begins as a proprietary motorsport-specific 6061-T6 forged aluminum blank formed under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure. Precision CNC machining creates deep side-milled spokes to remove unnecessary material while reinforcing critical stress areas with Apex's Sprint spec inner lip. Combined with generous brake clearance, paintless knurled bead seats, laser-engraved specifications, hub-centric engineering, and independent testing beyond JWL standards, the VS-5RS is engineered to deliver exceptional performance lap after lap.
