Apex VS-5RE 18x12 Forged Wheel - 5x120 BP / ET50 / 67.1mm CB - Satin Black (Chevrolet) - VS5RE1812ET50-5120-671-NSBK
The Apex VS-5RE was engineered for enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on strength and reliability. As the Enduro version of the acclaimed VS-5 design, this 18x12 forged wheel is purpose-built to withstand the abuse generated by high-grip tires, aerodynamic downforce, and repeated track sessions. Featuring Apex's highest load rating and toughest lip design, the VS-5RE is ready for everything from aggressive track days to endurance racing.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton press, the VS-5RE delivers exceptional durability with minimal weight penalty. Proprietary motorsport blanks, deep side-milled spokes, and extensive FEA optimization remove unnecessary mass while maintaining rigidity where it matters most. Finished in Satin Black, this wheel combines stealthy styling with uncompromising motorsport capability.
