Description
The APEX Wheels VS-5 from the Evolution Line represents a precision-engineered flow formed wheel designed for applications requiring 5×120 bolt pattern compatibility. This 18×9 ET30 wheel addresses the demands of BMW 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 2 face design, providing the geometry suited for the 9-inch width configuration. The 72.56mm center bore specification precisely matches BMW requirements for proper hub-centric fitment, eliminating vibration potential and ensuring proper load distribution. The wheel accommodates 60-degree conical hardware seating, providing secure wheel-to-hub interface for performance applications.
The VS-5 is engineered specifically for BMW platforms utilizing the 5×120 bolt pattern, offering multiple finish options including Anthracite, Hyper Black, Race Silver, and Satin Black. The ET30 offset provides balanced fitment characteristics for BMW applications, positioning the wheel face to maintain proper suspension geometry while accommodating performance tire sizing.
