Introducing the APEX VS-5RS, part of our Sprint™ Line of forged wheels. Advanced engineering makes it lightweight, while forged construction ensures uncompromising strength and durability.
Our custom forging blanks begin as massive billets weighing over 100 lbs, shaped under an incredible 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This extreme process eliminates porosity, improves grain structure, and results in a wheel with unmatched integrity. Unlike many brands that rely on generic blanks designed for non-motorsport use, APEX develops proprietary profiles, giving us total control over spoke geometry, concavity, and critical brake clearance.
To minimize weight, the VS-5RS features extra-deep side-milled spokes, CNC-machined with a precision ball cutter. Every gram of unnecessary material is removed, but never at the cost of strength. While others may skip this step due to expense, we see it as essential for delivering true performance.
The Sprint™ Line was designed with one goal: to be the lightest wheel possible without compromising durability. After extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA), we strategically reinforced stress points, even adding material back in key areas to strengthen the inner lip and raise the load rating. The result is a wheel that’s lighter than most flow-formed designs, yet stronger where it matters most.
Independent testing is central to our philosophy. Our wheels are tested at STL, a certified laboratory in Ohio, to standards that far exceed JWL requirements, with longer test durations, higher impact drops, and heavier loads. This guarantees a product that performs reliably on both street and track.
The Sprint™ spec inner lip introduces a unique channel profile that further boosts durability under track conditions. Knurled, unpainted beads maximize tire grip under heavy acceleration and braking, reducing the risk of tire slippage.
Clearance is another APEX hallmark. Using advanced 3D laser scans of OEM and aftermarket brake kits, the VS-5RS is engineered to clear even the largest Porsche brake setups. The deep, concave spoke design not only enhances performance but also delivers an aggressive motorsport aesthetic.
