SUVs and EVs have evolved. They’re high-performance platforms in their own right, and cars like the BMW X3M and Tesla Model S now outperform the supercars of yesteryear. They demand a Real Performance wheel and the forged VS-5RX was specifically engineered to provide the strength and durability these heavier applications require, all while dropping an immense amount of rational mass. At ~11 lbs lighter than many of their OEM counterparts, the VS-5RX dramatically improves the performance of modern SUVs and EVs, and because it was designed from the ground up for these applications, the VS-5RX provides a flush, aggressive fitment without modifications or spacers.

VS-5RX features
Designed for Today's Performance
Real Performance means designing the best solution possible, without compromise. SUVs and EVs have consistently evolved to be faster and handle better, but they’ve also grown progressively heavier. That calls for a stronger wheel with a higher load-rating to keep up. The VS-5RX utilizes our motorsport-proven technology to provide a true performance upgrade in a remarkably lightweight wheel that’s packed with subtle features that strengthen and support the immense weight and power of modern SUV and EV applications.

Lightweight
Often over ~11 lb lighter than many of their OEM counterparts, the VS-5RX’s weight-savings make this wheel a true game changer in the SUV and EV category. Shaving ~45 lbs of unsprung rotational mass off of your SUV or EV vastly improves acceleration, braking, handling and even fuel/charge mileage.
OEM Tire Compatibility
Almost all VS-5RX fitments feature OEM tire compatibility, making it truly a plug-and-play performance upgrade for your SUV or EV that does not require shopping for different tire sizes.
Flush, No Hassle Fitments
The forged VS-5RX was engineered specifically for these fitments, which allowed us to design it from the ground-up to deliver an aggressive look with maximum concavity, have massive brake clearance, and provide a flush fitment without the hassle of modification or spacers.
Stiffer Spokes
Wheel stiffness is a critical performance metric that too often is ignored. The redesigned spokes of the VS-5RX are about 25% stiffer than the Sprint Line version.

Toughest Inner Lip
The VS-5RX utilizes the same inner lip as our Enduro motorsport wheels, putting material and strength where it matters the most.

More reinforcement than a standard inner lip
Reinforced Front Lip
With the same outer lip as our Enduro line, VS-5RX uses extra material in the front lip for improved strength and durability. You can easily spot the beefed up design of an Enduro spec lip vs. the lightweight lip on a Sprint Line wheel.
10K Tons of Pressure
To make our forged wheels the strongest we can, we applied as much pressure as possible using a 10,000 ton forge. This extreme pressure increases the strength of the aluminum by eliminating porosity and improving the grain structure.
True Motorsport Blanks
Many companies use 3rd-party blanks intended for non-motorsport wheels which can severely limit sizes, concavity, spoke design, and critical brake clearance. We designed our very own blank profiles from scratch to give us total control over the final product.
Side-Milled Spokes
One of the most prominent features of the VS-5RX is its extra wide and deep side-milled spokes. Any excess material that doesn’t add strength is carved out using a precision CNC ball cutter. Not only does this offer a stunning visual characteristic, it dramatically decreases weight.
Weight Optimized
We conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and to remove material where it didn’t improve strength. The result is a significantly stronger wheel with a minimal weight penalty over their RS counterparts.
Independently Tested
We don't rely solely on computer simulations or unverifiable in-house testing. We believe independent testing is critical to protect consumers in this unregulated industry. The VS-5RX is independently tested by ITS at their Michigan facility following JWL standards but pushed to much higher loads and much longer durations.
3D Scanned Brake Clearance
At Apex, we cater every wheel fitment to its specific application. Utilizing 3D scans we take in-house, VS-5RX wheels are designed to clear the often massive OEM brake calipers of performance SUVs and EVs while maximizing concavity.
Deeper Concavity
Our new forgings were redesigned to create extra deep, concave spoke profiles. Their new shape allows us to make any profile, from flat to deep and everything in between, each optimized for a specific application using 3D laser scans of factory and aftermarket brake kits.
Built for Impact Sockets
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.

Outer Lip Pocketing
A lot of areas get extra thick when the load rating is raised to 2100 lb. By CNC machining ‘pockets’ between each spoke, our Engineers were able to further reduce weight from an area that has a high impact on rotational inertia.
Laser-Engraved Specs
As track enthusiasts ourselves, we know how frustrating it is to locate and decipher wheel specs that have been hastily marked on a wheel or become unreadable over time. Our Enduro wheels have laser-engraved specs on the barrel, in plain sight, making them easy to find and read.
Additional features
Hub Centric
All VS-5RX wheels are purpose built for select vehicle applications. Very few applications require centering rings.
Center Caps
All VS-5RX wheels come with our gloss black cap included. Most fitments are interchangeable with the OE cap. We also offer additional colors 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 accept OEM and aftermarket Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors and standard fit valve stems. If you don’t have sensors, then select from our metal stems available in multiple finishes.
