Apex VS-5RE 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET45 / 67.1mm CB - Anthracite (Chevrolet) (VS5RE18105ET45-5120-671-AN)
The Apex VS-5RE establishes a new benchmark for endurance wheel durability. Built as the forged Enduro version of the popular VS-5, the VS-5RE delivers Apex's highest load rating and strongest lip design, making it ideal for high-grip tires, aero-equipped cars, and the relentless punishment that comes with serious track use. Finished in Anthracite, this fully forged wheel combines exceptional strength with impressive weight optimization for drivers who demand uncompromising performance.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE is approximately 30% stronger than its Sprint Line counterpart while featuring spokes that are roughly 25% stiffer. Extensive Finite Element Analysis, independent testing, reinforced Enduro lip construction, and numerous weight-saving technologies result in a wheel that delivers incredible durability with only a minimal weight increase over the RS version.
