Built specifically for the S197, S550, and S650 Mustang, the APEX VS-5 in anthracite delivers a proper wheel spec that fits the platform without spacers, rubbing, or fitment compromises across every generation from 2005 through 2026.
Flow formed construction changes the equation. Unlike a basic cast wheel, flow forming stretches the barrel under high pressure after casting, aligning the aluminum grain structure and producing a barrel that is lighter and stronger than cast alone. The result is a wheel that absorbs road and track loads without the weight penalty of a forged piece.
The VS-5 spec is purpose-matched to the Mustang. A 19x10 diameter and width combination pairs with an ET40 offset to sit correctly in the factory arch, giving the stance and clearance geometry that fits OEM and common aftermarket brake packages. The five-spoke Evolution Line design keeps rotational mass concentrated near the center to reduce unsprung weight where it matters most.
Anthracite finish suits the platform. The dark metallic anthracite color reads clean against any Mustang body color and holds up to regular driving, autocross, and track use without the maintenance demands of a polished surface.
