Forged from a single billet, the APEX VS-5RS delivers a race-proven five-spoke design that fits every generation of S197 and S550/S650 Mustang without compromise. At 21.8 lbs in a 20x11 ET26 fitment, it undercuts most cast alternatives while handling the rigors of track and street use.
Sprint Line construction in a satin black finish. APEX places the VS-5RS in its Sprint Line family, a tier built specifically around forged monoblock construction. The forging process densifies the aluminum grain structure, producing a wheel that carries a higher load rating relative to its weight than a comparable cast or flow-formed unit.
A fitment built around the Mustang. The 20x11 diameter and width combination, paired with an ET26 offset, positions the wheel correctly within the S197 through S650 fender envelope. The offset keeps the spoke face flush with the fender line rather than tucked deep, giving the car the wide stance the platform is designed to carry.
Weight matters at every corner. Each VS-5RS tips the scale at 21.8 lbs, a meaningful reduction in unsprung and rotational mass compared to most street-spec 20-inch wheels. Less rotational inertia translates directly into sharper throttle response, quicker deceleration, and steering that reacts rather than lags.
