Apex VS-5RE 18x9 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET41 / 71.6mm CB - Satin Black (Porsche CS) - VS5RE189ET41-5130-716-CSST-NSBK
The Apex VS-5RE sets a new benchmark for endurance wheel durability. Built as the Enduro version of the highly regarded VS-5 design, this 18x9 forged wheel is engineered to handle the punishment that comes with high-grip tires, aerodynamic downforce, and relentless track use. Featuring Apex's highest load rating and strongest lip design, the VS-5RE is purpose-built for Porsche Club Sport applications where strength and reliability matter most.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton press, the VS-5RE combines exceptional strength with optimized weight. Proprietary motorsport blanks, extensive side milling, and FEA-driven engineering remove unnecessary mass while maintaining rigidity where it matters most. Finished in Satin Black, this wheel delivers a stealthy appearance backed by uncompromising motorsport performance.
