Forged from a single billet, the APEX VS-5RS delivers the strength and weight savings that serious Mustang track builds demand, now in a Motorsport Gold finish that stands out on the paddock and on the street.
Sprint Line forged construction. As part of the APEX Sprint Line family, the VS-5RS starts as a forged billet blank and is machined to a finished wheel weight of just 19.2 lbs in this 18x11 ET52 fitment. Forged construction produces a denser, stronger grain structure than cast alternatives, which translates directly into a wheel that handles the repeated stress of track-day braking, cornering loads, and curb impacts without adding unnecessary rotational mass.
An 18x11 ET52 spec built for Mustang fitment. The 11-inch width opens the door to wider rear tires for improved traction on both road course and drag strip applications. The ET52 offset positions the wheel correctly within the S197 and S550 wheel wells across the 2005 to 2026 model range, keeping the track geometry where Ford engineered it without requiring excessive spacers or rubbing clearance compromises.
Motorsport Gold finish. The Motorsport Gold color pairs with the machined spoke faces and pockets to give the wheel a distinct competition aesthetic. The finish holds up to brake dust, track debris, and repeated washing that come with active track use.
