Apex VS-5RE 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET25 / 72.56mm CB - Anthracite (BMW) - VS5RE1811ET25-5120-7256-AN
The Apex VS-5RE was engineered for drivers who demand maximum durability without sacrificing performance. As the Enduro version of the popular VS-5 design, this forged wheel is built to withstand the punishment of high-grip tires, aggressive aero packages, and repeated track abuse. Featuring Apex's strongest lip design and an impressive 2,100-pound load rating, the VS-5RE is ready for everything from endurance racing to dedicated track-day duty.
Forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000-ton press, the VS-5RE delivers exceptional strength with surprisingly low weight. Enhanced spoke stiffness, reinforced lips, extensive CNC machining, and vehicle-specific brake clearance engineering make this one of the toughest and most advanced motorsport wheels Apex has ever produced.

FAQs
What makes the VS-5RE different from the VS-5RS?
The VS-5RE is the Enduro version and features a significantly higher load rating, reinforced lips, and approximately 30% greater strength for extreme track use.
Are these wheels suitable for big brake kits?
Yes. Apex engineered the VS-5RE using extensive 3D scanning and a high-clearance barrel design to provide exceptional brake clearance for many factory and aftermarket big brake systems.
Why are the bead seats left unpainted?
The paintless knurled bead design maintains maximum grip between the tire and wheel, helping prevent tire slippage during hard acceleration and braking.
