Apex VS-5RE 18x11 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET25 / 72.56mm CB - Race Silver (BMW) - VS5RE1811ET25-5120-7256-RS
Built for drivers who push their cars to the limit, the Apex VS-5RE 18x11 delivers the durability and confidence required for demanding track environments. As the Enduro variant of the popular VS-5 design, the VS-5RE combines a massive 2,100-pound load rating with reinforced lip construction and enhanced spoke stiffness, making it the ideal wheel for high-grip tires, heavy braking zones, and repeated abuse. Finished in Race Silver, this wheel brings motorsport strength with a clean, purposeful appearance.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using a 10,000-ton press, the VS-5RE features proprietary motorsport blanks, extensive CNC machining, and FEA-optimized construction to maximize strength while minimizing unnecessary weight. Massive brake clearance, a deep concave profile, and track-focused details throughout make this one of Apex's most capable wheel designs.
