Spec-built for the S197 and S550 Mustang rear fitment, the APEX VS-5RS in 18x11 ET52 delivers a forged monoblock wheel sized to push proper rubber into the rear fenders without spacers or guesswork.
Forged construction at a competitive weight. At 19.2 lbs in an 18x11 size, the VS-5RS comes in significantly lighter than comparable cast wheels. Lower unsprung and rotational mass sharpens steering response, reduces suspension reaction time, and softens the load on wheel bearings and hubs over long stints.
The VS-5RS design serves a purpose. The Sprint Line five-spoke Y-spoke geometry balances stiffness across the barrel and face, resisting the flex and fatigue that wide, heavy wheels induce under hard cornering. The satin black finish holds up to brake dust and track debris without the maintenance demands of a polished surface.
Covers 21 years of Mustang production. The ET52 offset and 18x11 dimensions are confirmed fitment across the 2005 through 2026 Mustang, spanning S197 and S550 generations. One wheel spec works whether the car is a daily driver, a weekend canyon runner, or a track-day regular.
