This 19x9 ET42 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 Profile 1 face design, providing the geometry suited for the 9-inch width configuration. The 57.1mm center bore specification provides precise centering for VW\/Audi applications, ensuring proper hub engagement and eliminating the need for hub-centric rings. The R13 ball seat hardware specification accommodates the standard ball seat lug bolts used in VW\/Audi applications, ensuring proper wheel mounting and secure attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VS-5 is available in multiple finish options including Anthracite, Hyper Black, Race Silver, Satin Bronze, and Satin Black, allowing customization to match specific aesthetic preferences while maintaining the performance characteristics of the flow formed construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: VW\/Audi (Small Bore) applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Flow Formed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 19x9 ET42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt Pattern: 5x112\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter Bore: 57.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Profile: Profile 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Seat: R13 Ball Seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Finishes: Anthracite, Hyper Black, Race Silver, Satin Bronze, Satin Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: VS5199ET42-5112-571-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;\"\u003e19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e9\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003eET42\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e5x112mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align:center;\"\u003e57.1mm\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;\"\u003eR13 Ball Seat\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":47665445142679,"sku":"VS5199ET42-5112-571-AN","price":509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hyper Black","offer_id":47665445175447,"sku":"VS5199ET42-5112-571-NHBK","price":524.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Race Silver","offer_id":47665445208215,"sku":"VS5199ET42-5112-571-RS","price":509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Bronze","offer_id":47665445240983,"sku":"VS5199ET42-5112-571-SBZ","price":509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Satin Black","offer_id":47665445273751,"sku":"VS5199ET42-5112-571-SMBK","price":509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2641\/0682\/files\/602c2944da02da08541de0fb2ad55249a31146ca-2000x2000.png?v=1776200954","url":"https:\/\/autotalent.com\/products\/apex-wheels-vs-5-flow-formed-wheel-19x9-et42-5x112","provider":"AutoTalent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
