Forged construction and a 20x9 ET55 fitment make the APEX VS-5RS a direct answer for Mustang owners who want a track-capable wheel without sacrificing street manners across the full 2005-2026 model range.
Forged, not cast. The VS-5RS comes from the Sprint Line family, where every wheel starts as a forged aluminum blank. Forging refines the grain structure of the material, producing a wheel that carries less rotational mass than a comparable cast unit while maintaining the structural integrity the track demands.
A fitment dialed in for the Mustang. The 20x9 diameter and ET55 offset position the face correctly inside the Mustang's fender envelope across S197 and S550 generations, reducing the guesswork of running aftermarket sizing. Width and offset together keep the tire contact patch where it needs to be for balanced cornering loads.
Anthracite finish for lasting appearance. The anthracite color sits between a true black and a dark metallic gray, complementing both dark and light Mustang body colors. The finish is applied to withstand brake dust, road grime, and wash cycles without fading quickly.
Sprint Line engineering. APEX's Sprint Line represents the brand's track-focused forged category, engineered to meet the fatigue and impact demands of repeated circuit use while remaining fully street-legal and DOT compliant for daily driving.
