Apex VS-5RE 18x10.5 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET47 / 71.6mm CB - Race Silver (Porsche Clubsport) (VS5RE18105ET47-5130-716-CS-RS)
The Apex VS-5RE sets a new benchmark for wheel durability. As the forged Enduro version of the acclaimed VS-5 design, the VS-5RE is engineered to thrive in the harshest track environments. Featuring Apex's highest load rating and strongest lip construction, this Race Silver wheel is purpose-built to withstand the abuse of high-grip tires, aerodynamic downforce, and relentless lap after lap punishment while maintaining exceptional performance.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE delivers approximately 30% greater strength than the Sprint Line RS version while utilizing spokes that are roughly 25% stiffer. Extensive FEA optimization, independent testing, reinforced Enduro lip construction, and advanced machining techniques create a wheel that provides incredible durability with only a minimal weight increase over its lighter counterparts.
