Apex VS-5RE 18x9 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET41 / 71.6mm CB - Race Silver (Porsche CS) - VS5RE189ET41-5130-716-CS-RS
The Apex VS-5RE was engineered for Porsche enthusiasts who demand maximum durability and uncompromising performance. As the Enduro version of the acclaimed VS-5 design, this 18x9 forged wheel is built to handle the extreme loads generated by sticky tires, aerodynamic downforce, and countless laps at the limit. Featuring Apex's highest load rating and strongest lip design, the VS-5RE is designed to thrive in the harshest track and endurance racing environments.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE delivers exceptional strength with surprisingly low weight. Proprietary motorsport blanks, extensive side milling, and advanced FEA optimization remove unnecessary material while maintaining outstanding rigidity. Finished in Race Silver, this wheel combines timeless motorsport styling with race-proven engineering for Porsche Club Sport applications.
