Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton press, the VS-5RE delivers exceptional strength with minimal weight penalty. Extensive side milling, proprietary motorsport blanks, and advanced FEA optimization remove unnecessary material while maintaining outstanding rigidity. Finished in Anthracite, this wheel delivers aggressive styling backed by serious motorsport engineering.
