Apex VS-5RE 19x9 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET48 / 71.6mm CB - Anthracite (Porsche) VS5RE199ET48-5130-716-AN
The Apex VS-5RE was engineered for drivers who demand maximum durability without sacrificing performance. As the Enduro evolution of the acclaimed VS-5 design, this 19x9 forged wheel delivers exceptional strength for high-grip tires, aggressive aero packages, and relentless track use. Finished in Anthracite, the VS-5RE provides an aggressive motorsport appearance backed by race-proven engineering for Porsche enthusiasts who push their cars to the limit.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE offers approximately 30 percent greater strength than the RS version. Reinforced Enduro-spec lips, stiffer side-milled spokes, extensive FEA optimization, and a 2,100-pound load rating make this one of the strongest wheels Apex has ever produced. Every detail was developed with endurance racing and repeated track abuse in mind.

What makes the VS-5RE different from the VS-5RS?
The VS-5RE features reinforced Enduro-spec lips, increased spoke stiffness, and a higher load rating to withstand the demands of endurance racing and aggressive track driving.
Will these wheels clear large brake kits?
Yes. Apex designed the VS-5RE with optimized spoke geometry and high-clearance barrel profiles to accommodate many factory and aftermarket brake systems.
