This 18x11 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 18x11 sizing delivers aggressive width for wide tire applications while maintaining the smaller 18-inch diameter for reduced unsprung weight compared to larger diameter alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAPEX 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Chevrolet applications with 5x120.65 bolt pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Flow Formed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizing: 18x11 ET57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter Bore: 70.3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Profile: Profile 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Seat: 60 Degree Conical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Finishes: Anthracite, Race Silver, Satin Bronze, Satin Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: VS51811ET57-512065-703-AN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWheel Specifications:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"custable\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;font-size:90%;width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#03589c;height:21.875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIAMETER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWIDTH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:10%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOFFSET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOLT PATTERN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCENTER BORE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:14%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONSTRUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFACE PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:12%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARDWARE SEAT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;width:8%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color:#e8f4f8;height:32px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e18\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e11\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET57\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e5x120.65mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e70.3mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eFlow Formed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eProfile 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e60 Degree Conical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"APEX Wheels","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":47665451335831,"sku":"VS51811ET57-512065-703-AN","price":509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Race Silver","offer_id":47665451368599,"sku":"VS51811ET57-512065-703-RS","price":509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Bronze","offer_id":47665451401367,"sku":"VS51811ET57-512065-703-SBZ","price":509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":47665451434135,"sku":"VS51811ET57-512065-703-SMBK","price":509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/24c7becb518a7234ada749ebc37c704f7cd54f4e-2000x2000_1452b3c0-5472-4935-96e8-d40dee96fae9.png?v=1776201271","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-vs-5-flow-formed-wheel-18x11-et57-5x120-65","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
