Forged construction and a brushed clear finish make the APEX VS-5RS a serious track wheel that looks the part on any 2005-2026 Mustang, from a base GT to a fully prepped road-race car.
Sprint Line forged construction. The VS-5RS belongs to APEX's Sprint Line family, where each wheel starts as a forged billet blank and is machined to final dimensions. Forging produces a denser, stronger grain structure than casting, which lets APEX reduce wall thickness and trim mass without sacrificing structural integrity. At 20.7 lbs for a 19x11.5 fitment, the VS-5RS delivers a genuine reduction in unsprung and rotational weight compared to heavier cast alternatives.
A 19x11.5 ET56 spec built for the Mustang rear. The 11.5-inch width accommodates wide rear tires suited to track and high-performance street use, while the ET56 offset positions the wheel correctly within the S197 and S550 rear suspension geometry. This is not a generic fitment adapted to the Mustang; the dimensions are chosen to work with the factory hub, caliper clearance, and fender envelope across the 2005-2026 model range.
Brushed clear finish for durability and clean aesthetics. The brushed clear surface resists brake dust and road contamination better than polished finishes, and it holds up to repeated track sessions where heat cycles and abrasion are constant. The clear coat seals the brushed aluminum face against oxidation while preserving the directional texture of the finish.
