Forged from a single billet, the APEX VS-5RS delivers a wheel weight of 20.1 lbs in a 20x9.5 ET35 fitment that covers every fifth-generation and sixth-generation Mustang from 2005 through 2026, giving you a serious weight reduction over cast alternatives without sacrificing structural integrity.
Forged construction changes the weight equation. The VS-5RS comes in at 20.1 lbs in this 20x9.5 configuration, a number that reduces unsprung and rotational mass simultaneously. Less rotational inertia means the suspension responds faster to road inputs, braking distances tighten, and acceleration improves because the drivetrain is not fighting to spin heavy corners.
Sprint Line engineering in a street-ready package. The VS-5RS sits in APEX's Sprint Line family, a group of wheels developed with track use as the primary brief. The five-spoke RS design distributes load efficiently across the spoke geometry while maintaining the clearance needed for large brake packages common on performance Mustang builds.
Satin Bronze finish stands apart at the wheel well. The satin bronze anodized finish is not a painted overlay. It resists brake dust adhesion and cleans up without the risk of chipping or peeling that painted finishes carry over time, keeping the appearance consistent across seasons and track days.
ET35 offset fits the Mustang platform cleanly. The 35mm positive offset positions the wheel correctly within the factory fender envelope for 2005-2026 Mustangs, accommodating coilover setups and wider tire profiles without requiring spacers or fender modification on most builds.
