APEX Flow Formed VS-5 Wheel
APEX’s VS-5 in flow-formed construction — a 5-spoke design offering the broadest visual openness in the APEX flow-formed line, with the same circuit-tested engineering underneath.
Brand: APEX Wheels
Construction: Flow-formed 1-piece
Material: A356 aluminum alloy
Design: 5-spoke, open face
Note: Priced per wheel.
Description:
Five spokes give the VS-5 the largest inter-spoke windows in the APEX flow-formed lineup. On cars with substantial brake hardware, this reads dramatically well: rotors and calipers are clearly visible at any angle, framed by wide, well-proportioned spoke pairs. APEX’s flow-forming process is unchanged from the ARC-8 and EC-7 — the barrel is spun from a cast preform, the grain is compressed for better fatigue resistance, and the wheel passes the same motorsport load standards. The VS-5 simply applies that process to a 5-spoke mold designed for maximum visual openness.
Features:
• 5-Spoke Open Face: Maximum inter-spoke window area in the APEX flow-formed line; frames large brakes dramatically.
• Flow-Formed Barrel: Grain compression in the barrel for fatigue-resistance improvement over conventional casting.
• Motorsport Load Ratings: SAE J2530 and TUV/JWL certified.
• APEX Engineering Baseline: Same circuit-development program as the ARC-8, applied to a 5-spoke mold.
For builds where showing off big-brake hardware through wide spoke windows is the design priority.
