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 18×9.5 ET58 wheel addresses the demands of 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 9.5-inch width configuration. The 72.56mm center bore specification provides precise hub-centric fitment for BMW applications, ensuring proper wheel centering and reducing vibration during operation. The ET58 offset positioning optimizes brake clearance while maintaining appropriate suspension geometry for BMW chassis dynamics.
The VS-5 incorporates 60 degree conical hardware seat design, requiring conical seat lug bolts for proper installation and load distribution. APEX offers the VS-5 in multiple finish options including Anthracite, Hyper Black, Race Silver, and Satin Black, allowing customization to match specific aesthetic preferences while maintaining the same flow formed construction and performance characteristics across all finishes.
