The Apex VS-5RE represents the ultimate evolution of the popular VS-5 design, engineered specifically for enthusiasts who demand maximum strength and durability. Designed as part of Apex's Enduro Line, this 18x12 forged wheel is built to handle the extreme stresses generated by sticky tires, aerodynamic downforce, and relentless track use. With a massive 2,100-pound load rating and reinforced lip construction, the VS-5RE is ready to tackle everything from time attack to endurance racing.
Constructed from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE combines exceptional durability with impressive weight efficiency. Proprietary motorsport blanks, deep side-milled spokes, and extensive FEA optimization allow Apex engineers to remove unnecessary mass while maintaining outstanding rigidity. Finished in Anthracite, this wheel delivers aggressive motorsport styling backed by uncompromising performance.
