Apex VS-5RE 20x11.5 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET48 / 70.5mm CB - Anthracite (Ford) VS5RE20115ET48-51143-705-AN
The Apex VS-5RE takes the proven performance of the popular VS-5 and pushes durability to the next level. Engineered specifically for extreme track use, this 20x11.5 forged wheel is designed to withstand the added stress created by sticky tires, high downforce, and repeated hard laps. Finished in Anthracite, the VS-5RE combines aggressive motorsport styling with race-proven strength for serious Ford enthusiasts.
Constructed from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE delivers approximately 30 percent more strength than the RS version while maintaining impressive weight characteristics. Reinforced Enduro-spec lips, stiffer side-milled spokes, and advanced FEA optimization combine with a massive 2,100-pound load rating to create one of the strongest wheels Apex has ever produced.

FAQs
What makes the VS-5RE different from the VS-5RS?
The VS-5RE features reinforced Enduro-spec lips, stiffer spokes, and a higher load rating to handle the demands of endurance racing and aggressive track driving.
Will these wheels clear large brake kits?
Yes. Apex engineered the VS-5RE with optimized spoke geometry and a high-clearance barrel profile to accommodate many factory and aftermarket brake systems.
Why are the bead seats left unpainted?
The paintless knurled bead design helps prevent tire slip under heavy acceleration and braking, improving consistency and maintaining balance.
