As part of Apex's forged Sprint™ line, the VS-5RS was built to be extremely light while still offering a meaningful strength increase over their flow formed wheels. The VS-5RS was engineered for drivers looking to shed as much weight as possible to improve lap times.
Apex's forgings weigh as much as 120 pounds before machining. To form such a thick blank Apex requires special equipment capable of 10,000 metric tons of pressure. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminum by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure.
