Forged construction at 20.7 lbs in a 19x11.5 ET56 fitment gives the APEX VS-5RS a clear performance case for S197 and S550 Mustang owners who want a rear wheel that saves unsprung weight without sacrificing structural rigidity.
Sprint Line forged construction. APEX places the VS-5RS in its Sprint Line family, a range built around monoblock forged wheels that prioritize strength-to-weight ratio over cast alternatives. At 20.7 lbs for a 19x11.5 wheel, the VS-5RS delivers a meaningful reduction in rotational mass compared to heavier cast or flow-formed options, translating directly into sharper acceleration, better braking response, and more accurate steering feel.
A fitment built for rear-biased Mustang setups. The 11.5-inch width and ET56 offset suit the wide rear arches of 2005-2026 Mustang platforms, providing the track width and clearance geometry needed for staggered wheel packages. This specific combination supports fitments that would overload a narrower wheel and creates the stance that complements high-grip tire selections.
Satin black finish for lasting appearance. The satin black surface resists brake dust adhesion better than gloss finishes and keeps the wheel looking clean with minimal maintenance. The muted sheen works with the spoke geometry of the VS-5RS rather than overwhelming it.
