Apex VS-5RE 20x11.5 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET48 / 70.5mm CB - Satin Black (Ford) VS5RE20115ET48-51143-705-NSBK
The Apex VS-5RE is built for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising strength and reliability under the harshest conditions. As the Enduro evolution of the proven VS-5 design, this 20x11.5 forged wheel was engineered to withstand the added stresses of sticky tires, high downforce, and relentless track abuse. Finished in Satin Black, the VS-5RE delivers an aggressive motorsport appearance backed by race-proven durability for serious Ford performance applications.
Forged from premium 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE is approximately 30 percent stronger than the RS version while maintaining impressive weight efficiency. 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. Every detail is engineered to maximize performance and durability.

FAQs
How does the VS-5RE differ from the VS-5RS?
The Enduro-spec VS-5RE features stronger lips, increased spoke stiffness, and a higher load rating for extreme track and endurance use.
Will these wheels clear large brake kits?
Yes. Apex engineered the VS-5RE with optimized spoke profiles and a high-clearance barrel 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, maintaining wheel balance and improving consistency.
