Iconic 5-spoke Design

The VS-5 brings the aggressive look of our iconic forged VS-5RS to a flow-formed wheel. At a fraction of the price of its forged sibling, VS-5 punches well above its weight and maximizes the performance potential of a flow-formed wheel. With nearly two decades of experience perfecting track-ready flow-formed wheels, we engineered the VS-5 to deliver Real Performance at an unbeatable value.

Pushing the Boundaries of Flow-Formed Manufacturing

With a strength-to-weight ratio and features typically reserved for forged wheels, the VS-5 pushes the boundaries of flow-formed manufacturing to the max. Weighing only ~2-2.5 lbs more than its forged sibling, the VS-5 isn’t just a top tier option in the flow-formed space, it’s a wheel we consider the last step in performance before leveling up to a forged design.

The Flow Form Advantage

Flow-forming enables us to create high performance wheels without the price premium of forging. It improves the mechanical properties and grain structure of the barrel, increasing its strength and stiffness, which allows us to use less material and reduce weight. Thanks to our superior engineering, our flow-formed wheels have a higher load rating than some competitors' forged wheels.

Side-Milled Spokes

A critical part of VS-5’s remarkable weight-savings, side-milled spokes also help with its stunning looks. The VS-5 features advanced side-milled spokes that have any excess material that doesn’t add strength removed from the sides of the spokes via precision CNC ball cutter. This process is often deemed cost-prohibitive by others, but for performance without compromise, we believe it's essential.

Bigger, Tougher Inner Lip

The inner lip is the most vulnerable part of a wheel because it has no spokes for support. Our flow-formed Evolution Line adds more material to this vulnerable area as an added layer of protection against impact from  track berms, potholes, and whatever else the road may throw at you.

Maximizing Concavity

We use the deepest concave face profiles we can for every application. The VS-5 utilizes 3 unique profiles to deliver the deepest concave face possible, helping to reduce weight and provide a stunningly aggressive appearance, while factoring in critical clearances like brake calipers.

Big Brake Clearance

Big brakes often require bigger, heavier, more expensive wheels, which aren’t ideal for performance. Leveraging our expansive library of 3D brake scans, VS-5’s spoke profiles are specifically designed around critical OE and aftermarket brake calipers. Additionally, Apex flow-formed wheels are designed with a unique 0-degree draft barrel for maximum caliper barrel clearance.

Weight Optimized

We conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and remove any extra material where it didn’t improve strength. The result is a wheel that is exceptionally light without the strength compromises typically found on lightweight wheels.²

Built for Impact Sockets

Track wheels require track tools. Don’t settle for wheels that require undersized tuner lugs or thin walled sockets. All Apex wheels accommodate over-sized race lugs and impact sockets to make swapping wheels lightning fast.
