The Apex VS-5RE is engineered for drivers who demand uncompromising strength and durability from their wheels. As the Enduro version of the popular VS-5, this 18x11 forged wheel was designed to survive the harshest track environments while maintaining the lightweight performance characteristics enthusiasts expect. Whether you're running sticky tires, aero packages, or endurance sessions, the VS-5RE is built to keep pushing lap after lap.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000-ton press, the VS-5RE combines exceptional strength with intelligent weight optimization. Reinforced lips, stiffer side-milled spokes, and extensive FEA analysis allow this wheel to achieve a massive 2,100-pound load rating while remaining remarkably lightweight. Finished in Satin Black, it delivers an aggressive appearance backed by true motorsport engineering.
