Forged from a single billet, the APEX VS-5RS delivers a wheel weight of just 21.8 pounds in a 20x11 ET26 fitment that spans every fifth-generation and sixth-generation Mustang from 2005 through 2026.
Forged construction, measured result. The one-piece forged process compresses the grain structure of the alloy, producing a wheel that is both stronger and lighter than cast alternatives. At 21.8 pounds for a 20x11 rim, the VS-5RS reduces unsprung and rotational mass simultaneously, which sharpens steering response and reduces the load on brakes and suspension.
Sprint Line engineering intent. The VS-5RS sits within APEX's Sprint Line family, a lineup developed specifically around track-day and performance-street use. The five-spoke RS architecture balances spoke cross-section for stiffness under lateral load while keeping the face open enough for brake cooling airflow.
ET26 offset for Mustang fitment. The 26mm positive offset positions the 11-inch-wide barrel correctly within the Mustang's factory fender envelope, accommodating aggressive tire widths without requiring spacers or fender modification on stock body cars.
Anthracite finish. The anthracite coating provides a dark, low-gloss appearance that reads as a step darker than gunmetal under most lighting conditions, complementing both dark and light Mustang body colors.
