Apex VS-5RE 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET25 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (BMW) (VS5RE1810ET25-5120-7256-AN)
The Apex VS-5RE was engineered to establish a new benchmark for wheel durability. As the Enduro version of the popular VS-5 design, this fully forged wheel combines exceptional strength with track-focused engineering to withstand the abuse of high-grip tires, aerodynamic downforce, and countless hard laps. Finished in Anthracite, this 18x10 wheel delivers the durability serious enthusiasts and racers demand without sacrificing performance.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE features Apex's highest 2,100-pound load rating, reinforced Enduro-spec lips, and side-milled spokes that are approximately 25 percent stiffer than the Sprint Line version. Extensive FEA optimization, independent testing, and motorsport-specific features make this one of the toughest wheels Apex has ever produced.
