Forged construction, a brushed clear finish, and a 21.3 lb weight figure put the APEX VS-5RS in a different category than cast wheels of the same size. At 20x10 with an ET35 offset, this wheel fits 2005-2026 Mustangs and fills the fender with the right proportions for street and track use.
Forged for strength without the weight penalty. The VS-5RS uses a forged construction process that produces a denser, stronger wheel than casting allows, then removes material where it is not needed. The result is a 20x10 wheel that checks in at 21.3 lbs, a number that pays dividends in reduced unsprung and rotational mass every time you accelerate, brake, or change direction.
Sprint Line engineering in a road-legal package. The VS-5RS belongs to APEX's Sprint Line family, a lineup developed around track-day demands and endurance use. The five-spoke RS design prioritizes structural rigidity and brake caliper clearance so that fitting larger aftermarket brakes does not require spacers or compromise.
Brushed clear finish for long-term durability. The brushed clear coat protects the forged aluminum surface without hiding the metal's natural texture. It resists brake dust and road contamination better than bare finishes, and touch-up is straightforward if the wheel ever sees curb contact.
ET35 offset positions the wheel correctly in the arch. On S197 and S550 Mustangs, a 20x10 ET35 fitment places the wheel face flush with the standard fender line without requiring pulled arches or aggressive camber settings. The same offset carries over cleanly to the S650 platform.
