Forged from a single billet, the APEX VS-5RS delivers a 18.4 lb wheel in an 18x10 ET40 fitment that covers every fifth-generation and sixth-generation Mustang from 2005 through 2026, so whether you are running a stock suspension or a full track setup, the geometry stays where you need it.
Forged construction at a meaningful weight. At 18.4 lbs, the VS-5RS keeps unsprung and rotational mass low, which translates directly into sharper turn-in, faster transient response, and reduced strain on brakes and suspension components. Forged monoblock wheels achieve that weight without sacrificing structural integrity under hard cornering or repeated track sessions.
Sprint Line lineage built for performance fitments. The VS-5RS belongs to APEX's Sprint Line family, a series engineered specifically for track and performance street use. The five-spoke RS profile balances rigidity across the spoke roots while clearing most big-brake kits common on S197 and S550 platforms.
Satin Bronze finish for a distinct look. The satin bronze anodized finish resists brake dust and road grime better than painted surfaces, holds up under the heat cycles a track day generates, and sets the wheel apart from the sea of gloss black options in the Mustang space.
ET40 offset dialed for Mustang geometry. The 18x10 ET40 spec positions the contact patch correctly for the Mustang's suspension geometry across both the S197 and S550 generations, minimizing scrub radius changes and keeping steering feel consistent without needing spacers on most configurations.
