The Apex VS-5RE was developed for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising durability and true motorsport performance. As the Enduro version of the acclaimed VS-5, this 18x11 forged wheel is engineered to handle the extreme loads generated by sticky tires, high downforce, and relentless track use. With Apex's highest load rating and strongest lip design, the VS-5RE is built to deliver confidence and consistency during demanding track days, time attack events, and endurance racing.
Constructed from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum and shaped under an immense 10,000-ton press, the VS-5RE combines exceptional strength with intelligent weight optimization. Extensive side milling, proprietary motorsport blanks, and advanced FEA engineering allow Apex to remove unnecessary material while maintaining outstanding rigidity. Finished in Anthracite, this wheel brings race-proven capability and aggressive styling to serious Chevrolet performance builds.
