This 18x9 ET25 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.\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 face geometry optimized for the 18x9 width configuration, providing the structural characteristics suited for performance applications. The 66.6mm center bore specification provides proper hub-centric mounting for compatible vehicles, ensuring precise wheel alignment and reducing vibration during operation. The ET25 offset positions the wheel face for optimal suspension geometry in performance setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAPEX offers the VS-5 in multiple finish options to accommodate different aesthetic preferences and application requirements. The available finishes include Anthracite, Hyper Black, Race Silver, and Satin Black, each providing durable surface protection while maintaining the wheel's engineered performance characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: 5x112 bolt pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Flow Formed aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Individual wheel (hardware sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Available in Anthracite, Hyper Black, Race Silver, and Satin Black finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: VS5189ET25-5112-666-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;\"\u003e9\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e5x112mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e66.6mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eFlow Formed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eNone\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":47665449435287,"sku":"VS5189ET25-5112-666-AN","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hyper Black","offer_id":47665449468055,"sku":"VS5189ET25-5112-666-NHBK","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Race Silver","offer_id":47665449500823,"sku":"VS5189ET25-5112-666-RS","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":47665449533591,"sku":"VS5189ET25-5112-666-SMBK","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/b13cfbf1eb7d7830711725e831e4ef117f1fc481-2000x2000_c4aa8e4a-93b5-4c6e-a288-18df71689783.png?v=1776201169","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-vs-5-flow-formed-wheel-18x9-et25-5x112","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
