Apex VS-5RE 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET47 / 71.6mm CB - Anthracite (Porsche Clubsport) (VS5RE18105ET47-5130-716-CS-AN)
The Apex VS-5RE redefines what an endurance wheel should be. Based on the proven VS-5 design, the VS-5RE is the Enduro version engineered for the harshest track environments and the highest levels of grip. Featuring Apex's highest load rating and strongest lip construction, this Anthracite-finished wheel is built to endure lap after lap of abuse while maintaining the lightweight characteristics performance enthusiasts demand.
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 utilizing spokes that are roughly 25% stiffer. Extensive FEA optimization, independent third-party testing, reinforced Enduro lips, and innovative weight-saving technologies make this one of the toughest motorsport wheels Apex has ever produced.
