The Apex VS-5RE was developed for enthusiasts who refuse to compromise between strength and performance. As the Enduro version of the acclaimed VS-5, this 18x11 forged wheel is engineered to withstand the punishment of sticky tires, heavy downforce, and relentless track abuse. Featuring Apex's highest load rating and strongest lip design, the VS-5RE is built to deliver confidence lap after lap, whether you're competing in endurance racing or pushing your BMW to its limits during track days.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an enormous 10,000-ton forging press, the VS-5RE combines exceptional durability with surprisingly low weight. Extensive side milling, FEA-optimized construction, and proprietary motorsport blanks maximize strength while minimizing unnecessary mass. Finished in Anthracite, this wheel delivers a purposeful motorsport look with the capability to match.
