Forged construction and a purpose-built Sprint Line design make the APEX VS-5RS a direct answer to the weight and strength compromises found in cast wheels, delivering a wheel that pulls double duty on track days and spirited street driving on 2005-2026 Mustangs.
Forged monoblock construction. Forging densifies the aluminum grain structure throughout the barrel and spoke, producing a wheel that carries higher loads at lower weight than a comparable cast unit. Less unsprung and rotational mass translates directly into sharper turn-in, faster acceleration, and reduced braking distances.
Sprint Line pedigree. The VS-5RS belongs to APEX's Sprint Line family, a group of wheels developed with track use as the primary requirement rather than an afterthought. The five-spoke RS profile balances rigidity across the spoke under cornering loads while clearing most big-brake kits common to the S197 and S550 platforms.
20x11 ET62 fitment. The 20-inch diameter, 11-inch width, and 62 mm positive offset position the wheel correctly in the rear arch of 2005-2026 Mustang applications, providing proper clearance against suspension components and bodywork without spacers.
Anthracite finish. The anthracite color sits between gunmetal and matte black, complementing both dark and light Mustang exterior colors without the maintenance demands of a polished or chrome surface.
