VS-5 FEATURES


ICONIC 5-SPOKE DESIGN

The VS-5 brings the aggressive styling of APEX’s iconic forged VS-5RS to a flow-formed wheel. At a fraction of the price of its forged counterpart, the VS-5 delivers performance well beyond expectations and maximises the potential of flow-formed technology. With nearly two decades of experience developing track-ready flow-formed wheels, APEX has engineered the VS-5 to provide Real Performance at an exceptional 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 limits of flow-formed manufacturing. Weighing only 2–2.5 lbs more than its forged sibling, the VS-5 is not just a top-tier option in the flow-formed category — it represents the final step in performance before progressing to a fully forged design.

THE FLOW FORM ADVANTAGE

Flow forming enables APEX to produce high-performance wheels without the price premium of forging. The process improves the mechanical properties and grain structure of the barrel, increasing both strength and stiffness, which allows for less material use and reduced weight. Through advanced engineering, APEX flow-formed wheels achieve a higher load rating than some competitors’ forged wheels.

SIDE-MILLED SPOKES

A key factor in the VS-5’s impressive weight savings, side-milled spokes also enhance its striking appearance. The VS-5 utilises advanced side-milling, where excess material that does not contribute to strength is removed from the sides of the spokes using a precision CNC ball cutter. While this process is often considered cost-prohibitive by other manufacturers, APEX regards it as essential to deliver uncompromised performance.

BIGGER, TOUGHER INNER LIP

The inner lip is the most vulnerable part of a wheel, as it lacks the support of spokes. To address this, APEX’s flow-formed Evolution Line reinforces the inner lip by adding extra material in this critical area, providing greater protection against impacts from track kerbs, potholes, and other road hazards.

MAXIMISING CONCAVITY

APEX uses the deepest concave face profiles possible for every application. The VS-5 utilises three unique profiles to deliver the deepest concave face achievable, helping to reduce weight and provide a stunningly aggressive appearance, while factoring in critical clearances such as brake calipers.

BIG BRAKE CLEARANCE

Big brakes often require bigger, heavier, more expensive wheels, which are not ideal for performance. Leveraging APEX’s expansive library of 3D brake scans, the 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 clearance. 

WEIGHT OPTIMISED

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

BUILT FOR IMPACT SOCKETS

Track wheels need 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.

32mm socket diameter clearance.

FINISHING TOUCHES

The VS-5 is finished using a multi-stage liquid paint over a powder-coated base coat. This coating process leaves lug holes, centre bores and mounting pads untouched, which ensures proper fit and torque values.

JWL AND BEYOND

All APEX Flow Formed wheels meet or meaningfully exceed JWL load rating requirements. Some manufacturers don't meet the minimum requirements, yet still claim to be compliant. Always compare load ratings to ensure you aren’t sacrificing critical strength for a slightly lighter wheel.


REAL DRIVERS NEED REAL PERFORMANCE


Not all claims of performance are backed up by facts — and it's a big problem.  APEX defines real performance through wheels that are precisely engineered, rigorously tested, and objectively measured. Unlike under-engineered “fashion” wheels that overpromise and underdeliver, APEX wheels are designed for genuine performance, backed by independent testing and verifiable results.



A WHEEL YOU CAN DEPEND ON


LIFETIME WARRANTY

All APEX wheels come with a lifetime structural warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, plus a 12 month finish warranty. Exchanges are fast, easy, and hassle-free. Contact us for full terms and conditions for details.

ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE REPLACEMENT

Curb rash or pothole damage on the street? Make an oopsie at the track? We’ve all been there. APEX is proud to offer 50% off replacement wheels, no matter the damage. Contact us for full terms and conditions or for more details.


ADDITIONAL FEATURES


HUB CENTRIC

VS-5 wheels are purpose built for select vehicle applications. Very few applications require locating rings.

CENTRE CAPS

All APEX wheels come with a gloss black cap included. Unlike its forged counterpart, the VS-5 has limited OE cap support. However, APEX also offers additional colours for select fitments.

WHEEL HARDWARE

APEX wheels can be used with all OEM mounting hardware, proper aftermarket hardware and most wheel spacers. Wheel locks and stud conversion kits also work perfectly.

TPMS

All APEX wheels are compatible with both OEM and aftermarket Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), as well as standard-fit valve stems.


SO, WHY CHOOSE THE VS-5?


The APEX VS-5 offers the perfect balance of strength, lightness, and value in a flow formed design. With reinforced durability, brake clearance, independent testing, and APEX’s renowned replacement programme, the VS-5 is built for enthusiasts who demand true performance without compromise.

One of (if not THE most) professional outfits I’ve dealt with - in the auto industry or otherwise. Needless to say, all work was carried out as promised and to an impeccable standard. Thank you Sean and team - you’ve renewed my faith in the auto business!

I have used many mechanics over the years for the many different types of vehicles in our company fleet and southern BM is one of the very few workshops I can highly recommend. Andrew and his team are also really passionate about their work and it shows.
