Apex VS-5RE 18x10 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET36 / 71.6mm CB - Satin Black (Porsche) (VS5RE1810ET36-5130-716-NSBK)
The Apex VS-5RE sets a new benchmark for wheel durability by combining the proven VS-5 design with Apex's most robust Enduro engineering. Finished in Satin Black, this fully forged wheel is built for drivers who demand uncompromising strength, massive brake clearance, and race-ready reliability. Whether you're tackling endurance events or pushing your Porsche to the limit during track days, the VS-5RE is designed to withstand abuse lap after lap.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an extreme 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE delivers approximately 30 percent more strength and 25 percent greater spoke stiffness than the Sprint Line RS version. Reinforced Enduro-spec lips, advanced FEA optimization, independent testing, and a substantial 2,100-pound load rating provide exceptional durability with only a minimal weight increase over its lighter counterparts.
