Apex VS-5RE 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET36 / 71.6mm CB - Anthracite (Porsche) (VS5RE1810ET36-5130-716-AN)
The Apex VS-5RE raises the bar for endurance wheel performance by combining the iconic five-spoke VS-5 design with Apex's most robust Enduro engineering. Finished in Anthracite, this fully forged wheel is designed for drivers who demand uncompromising durability, immense brake clearance, and race-proven strength. Built to withstand the punishment of sticky tires, high downforce, and relentless track sessions, the VS-5RE delivers confidence lap after lap.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE delivers approximately 30 percent greater strength and 25 percent higher spoke stiffness than the Sprint Line RS version. Reinforced Enduro-spec lips, advanced FEA optimization, independent testing, and a 2,100-pound load rating ensure this wheel is ready for the toughest conditions while maintaining exceptional performance characteristics.
