Forged construction, motorsport-grade engineering, and a 22.3 lb weight figure that punishes unsprung mass on the street or track: the APEX VS-5RS in Motorsport Gold puts serious hardware under your 2005-2026 Mustang.
Sprint Line forged construction. APEX's Sprint Line uses a forged process that produces a denser, stronger wheel without the weight penalty of cast alternatives. At 22.3 lbs for a 20x11.5 fitment, the VS-5RS keeps rotational inertia low so the suspension can respond faster and the brakes can scrub speed more efficiently.
A fitment built for the S197 through S650 platform. The 20x11.5 ET48 specification covers the full 2005-2026 Mustang lineup in a rear-fitment size that works with factory and aftermarket tire packages commonly used on these cars. The geometry is developed specifically for the Mustang, not adapted from a universal catalog.
Motorsport Gold finish. The finish is not a wrap or painted overlay; it carries the VS-5RS's clean five-spoke motorsport aesthetic in a gold tone that reads well against dark and light body colors alike.
