Apex VS-5RE 19x9 Forged Wheel - 5x130 BP / ET48 / 71.6mm CB - Race Silver (Porsche) VS5RE199ET48-5130-716-RS
The Apex VS-5RE was engineered for drivers who refuse to compromise when it comes to strength and performance. As the Enduro version of the acclaimed VS-5 design, this 19x9 forged wheel is built to withstand the extreme demands of sticky tires, high downforce, and relentless track use. Finished in Race Silver, the VS-5RE delivers timeless motorsport styling with the durability needed to keep attacking corners lap after lap.
Constructed from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using a massive 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE offers approximately 30 percent greater strength than the RS version while maintaining exceptional performance characteristics. Reinforced Enduro-spec lips, stiffer side-milled spokes, and extensive Finite Element Analysis optimization combine with a massive 2,100-pound load rating to create one of the toughest wheels Apex has ever produced.

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