APEX Mustang VS-5RS Race Silver Wheel - 20x11.5 ET48 (2005-2026)

The Ford Mustang has always been about driving excitement, and the APEX VS-5RS Race Silver Wheel in 20x11.5 ET48 is built to match that spirit. Part of APEX's Sprint Line of fully forged wheels, the VS-5RS covers every Mustang from 2005 through 2026 with a vehicle-specific fitment engineered to maximize performance, shed serious weight, and look great doing it.

Forged under 10,000 metric tons of pressure. The VS-5RS starts as a forging blank weighing up to 120 lbs before machining. Forming that blank requires 10,000 metric tons of pressure, which eliminates porosity in the aluminum and improves its grain structure, producing a wheel that is far stronger than cast or flow-formed alternatives. The result is a fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum wheel that delivers meaningful strength without the weight penalty typically associated with high load-rated wheels.

APEX's lightest wheel design, engineered for lap times. The VS-5RS features extra-deep, side-milled spokes where excess material that does not contribute to strength is precision CNC ball-cut away. APEX then conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis to identify and reinforce high-stress areas, purposefully adding one pound back into the design to create a stronger inner lip and a higher load rating. The VS-5RS is engineered specifically for drivers looking to shed as much unsprung rotational mass as possible to sharpen acceleration, braking, and cornering response.

True motorsport blanks, built from scratch. Many wheel manufacturers rely on third-party blanks originally intended for non-motorsport applications, which can limit spoke depth, concavity, available sizes, and brake clearance. APEX designed their own blank profiles from the ground up, giving them complete control over the final product and allowing for exceptionally deep spokes, stronger designs, and the aggressive concavity Mustang owners are after.

A purpose-built fitment for serious Mustang builds. The 20x11.5 ET48 is a direct-fit rear wheel for 2005-2026 Ford Mustangs, engineered to accommodate wide 315 or 325 width tires out back for maximum grip. It can also be run up front with a 25mm spacer for a max-effort track setup with massive front and rear grip. APEX 3D-scanned multiple Mustang platforms to nail the offset and tire availability, ensuring this wheel fits and performs exactly as intended. The timeless Race Silver finish gives your Mustang a classic motorsport look that is equally at home on the street or the track.
