Apex VS-5RX 21x10.5 Forged Touring Wheel - 5x112 BP / ET36 / 66.6mm CB - Anthracite (BMW) - VS5RX21105ET36-5112-666-AN
Purpose-built for today's high-performance SUVs and EVs, the Apex VS-5RX 21x10.5 Forged Touring Wheel delivers the ideal combination of lightweight performance, exceptional strength, and aggressive styling. Finished in Anthracite, the VS-5RX is engineered specifically for the increased weight and power of modern BMW performance SUVs, reducing unsprung rotational mass while improving acceleration, braking, steering response, and overall driving dynamics.
Unlike forged wheels adapted from passenger car platforms, the VS-5RX was designed from the ground up for heavier, high-output applications. Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an advanced 10,000 ton forging process, it features a robust 2,100 pound load rating, reinforced Enduro Spec inner and outer lips, stiffer side-milled spokes, and application-specific brake clearance. Most fitments maintain OEM tire compatibility, making the VS-5RX a true plug-and-play performance upgrade without the need for spacers or modifications.
