Built to thrive under extreme conditions, the Apex VS-5RE 18x9 Forged Wheel brings endurance-racing toughness to Porsche Club Sport applications. Developed as the Enduro version of the acclaimed VS-5 design, the VS-5RE features Apex's strongest lip profile and highest load rating, making it the ideal choice for drivers who demand exceptional durability without sacrificing performance. Finished in Race Silver, this wheel combines aggressive motorsport styling with uncompromising strength.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE delivers remarkable rigidity and impact resistance. Its reinforced inner and outer lips, deeper side-milled spokes, and extensive FEA optimization result in a wheel that is approximately 30 percent stronger than the RS version while maintaining impressive weight characteristics. Massive brake clearance and a capless hub design further enhance its track-focused capabilities.
