Forged from a single billet, the APEX VS-5RS delivers the weight savings and structural integrity that track-day Mustang owners demand, wrapped in a fitment engineered to the S197 through S650 platform across a twenty-one-year span.
Sprint Line forging process. APEX places the VS-5RS in its Sprint Line family, a category built around high-strength forged construction. Forging aligns the grain structure of the alloy, producing a wheel that handles the cyclic stress of road and track use without the mass penalty of cast alternatives. At 20.4 lbs in the 19x11 configuration, the VS-5RS keeps unsprung and rotational weight low, which pays dividends in acceleration, braking, and steering feel.
A fitment built for rear-biased Mustang setups. The 19x11 ET52 spec pushes substantial width into the rear wheel well while the positive offset tucks the wheel properly under the fender. That combination supports wide rear tire fitments without aggressive fender work on most 2005-2026 Mustang builds.
Anthracite finish. The anthracite color sits between gunmetal and gloss black, complementing both dark and light Mustang body colors without overwhelming the body lines. The finish holds up to brake dust, road debris, and track conditions better than bare polished surfaces.
