Apex VS-5RE 20x11 Forged Wheel - 5x114.3 BP / ET23 / 70.5mm CB - Anthracite (Ford) VS5RE2011ET23-51143-705-AN
The Apex VS-5RE was engineered for enthusiasts who demand uncompromising strength and durability under the harshest conditions. As the Enduro version of the popular VS-5 design, this 20x11 forged wheel is built to withstand the enormous loads generated by sticky tires, aerodynamic downforce, and relentless track abuse. Finished in Anthracite, the VS-5RE combines aggressive motorsport styling with race-proven toughness for serious Ford performance applications.
Manufactured from fully forged 6061-T6 aluminum using an immense 10,000-ton forging process, the VS-5RE delivers approximately 30 percent greater strength than its RS counterpart while maintaining exceptional performance characteristics. Reinforced Enduro-spec lips, stiffer side-milled spokes, advanced FEA optimization, and a massive 2,100-pound load rating make this one of the strongest wheels Apex has ever produced. Every detail was designed with real-world motorsport use in mind.
