Description
The APEX Wheels VS-5 from the Evolution Line represents a precision-engineered flow formed wheel designed for Chevrolet applications requiring 5×120.65 bolt pattern compatibility. This 18×11 ET57 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 1 face design, providing the geometry suited for the 11-inch width configuration. The 70.3mm center bore specification provides precise hub-centric fitment for Chevrolet applications, eliminating the need for hub rings while ensuring proper wheel centering. The 60-degree conical hardware seat accommodates standard lug nuts with proper taper angle for secure mounting. The 18×11 sizing delivers aggressive width for wide tire applications while maintaining the smaller 18-inch diameter for reduced unsprung weight compared to larger diameter alternatives.
APEX offers the VS-5 in multiple finish options including Anthracite, Race Silver, Satin Bronze, and Satin Black, allowing customization to match specific vehicle aesthetics and preferences.
