APEX Wheels VS-5 Flow Formed Wheel | 18×11 ET44 | 5×120

Description

The APEX Wheels VS-5 from the Evolution Line represents a precision-engineered flow formed wheel designed for BMW applications requiring 5×120 bolt pattern compatibility. This 18×11 ET44 wheel addresses the demands of wide performance applications through APEX’s flow formed construction process, which combines casting efficiency with enhanced strength characteristics to deliver optimal performance for track and street use.

The wheel utilizes flow formed construction, a manufacturing process that begins with a cast wheel blank before applying specialized forming techniques. During flow forming, the wheel barrel is spun at high speed while rollers apply controlled pressure, stretching and compressing the aluminum to create a denser grain structure. This process increases the material strength while reducing weight compared to traditional cast wheels, positioning flow formed construction between cast and forged methods in terms of both performance and cost.

The VS-5 features Profile 3 face design, providing the deep concave geometry suited for the aggressive 11-inch width configuration. The 72.56mm center bore specification provides BMW-specific fitment compatibility, while the 60 degree conical hardware seat ensures proper wheel-to-hub interface for secure mounting. The Evolution Line positioning reflects APEX’s engineered approach to balancing performance characteristics with manufacturing efficiency.

Available finish options include Anthracite, Hyper Black, Race Silver, and Satin Black, allowing customization for different aesthetic preferences while maintaining the wheel’s structural performance characteristics across all finish variants.
