Forged from a single billet, the APEX VS-5RS delivers a 19.2 lb wheel in an 18x11 ET52 fitment that covers every Mustang from the S197 through the S650 generation without compromise.
Sprint Line forged construction. The VS-5RS belongs to APEX's Sprint Line family, where a full forging process produces a wheel that is measurably lighter and structurally stronger than comparable cast alternatives. Less unsprung and rotating mass translates directly into sharper steering response, faster acceleration, and reduced braking distances.
19.2 lbs in an 18x11 package. That weight figure is notable for a wheel this wide. Running a lighter rear wheel reduces the rotational inertia the drivetrain has to overcome on every acceleration event, which matters on both the street and the track.
ET52 offset dialed for the Mustang platform. The 52mm offset positions the wheel correctly within the Mustang's front and rear suspension geometry across all 2005-2026 model years, maintaining proper scrub radius and avoiding contact with suspension components and fender edges.
Brushed Clear finish. The brushed aluminum surface is protected under a clear coat that resists brake dust, road grime, and light corrosion while preserving the natural metallic texture of the forged face.
