Apex VS-5RE 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET45 / 67.1mm CB - Satin Black (Chevrolet) (VS5RE18105ET45-5120-671-NSBK)
The Apex VS-5RE represents the ultimate evolution of the iconic VS-5 design, engineered specifically for endurance racing and extreme performance applications. Featuring Apex's highest load rating and strongest lip construction, the VS-5RE is built to withstand relentless abuse from high-grip tires, heavy downforce, and aggressive driving lap after lap. Finished in Satin Black, this fully forged wheel delivers uncompromising strength without sacrificing performance.
Constructed from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE is approximately 30% stronger than the Sprint Line RS version while featuring spokes that are roughly 25% stiffer. Extensive Finite Element Analysis, independent third-party testing, reinforced Enduro-spec lips, and advanced machining techniques create a wheel that delivers exceptional durability with only a minimal weight increase over its lighter counterparts.
