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.
Why are the bead seats left unpainted?
The paintless knurled bead design helps reduce tire slippage during hard acceleration and braking, improving consistency and maintaining balance.
